Los Angeles ACM Chapter Meeting

Consumer Electronics (CES) 2001, COMDEX and FREE T-SHIRTS

Paul Schmidt and Lee Schmidt, MARK 70

Wednesday, February 7, 2001

The Schmidt family team (Paul and Lee) will regale us with experiences
of two top trade shows, both held in Las Vegas during the past three
months.

They will present their views of COMDEX (Computer Dealers Exchange) and
the Winter Consumer Electronics Show. They will have a supply of
goodies to give away and will display all the literature they can
carry.

Internet connections permitting, Lee and Paul will run some demos from
the shows with an emphasis on on-line computer training.

To make sure that attendees remember them, exhibitors give away
everything from pens to T-shirts to free samples of their wares; the
Schmidts will pass some of them on to us. In fact, all dinner
attendees who make reservations by February 4 are guaranteed a FREE
T-shirt!!

Paul Schmidt is a specialist in PC systems. He is a member of LA ACM
and LA SIGPLAN, and currently is LA ACM Vice Chair and Web monster.

Lee Schmidt has a small computer services company in the Bakersfield
area. He also likes to develop software when not going to trade shows.
He is a member of ACM and SIGPLAN and is the current LA ACM Chair.
