    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    The AoS folks should have arranged to meet up. I did get to meet Alan (firebottle) after having spoken and emailed him many times. Let's just say he could not have been missed in a large crowd.

    Really enjoyed the show and the very good systems put together by people. Spent ages in some.

    This year there were loads of systems based on active speakers.

    Interesting 'suitcase' challenges.

    To give an idea of what arranging a meet up of AoS members would be like:

    A most enjoyable few hours, I think Al's was my favourite, Anita's was some dude with speakers made from Corian. But overall more interesting to me than when it's traders doing it.

    Mrs. Pony had a good time too, her exact words were "not as bad as I thought it would be, I expected it to be more geeky". From her that's praise indeed
