Anyone going this year? My school's not entering the competition this year but I'm going anyway. Registered early to get free admission so might as well & see what Enco's free gift is. ;)
 
LOL. Yeah that is what I was thinking too, I just used my work for reference. After all I am a production supervisor but they don't need to know that it's nothing to do with manufacturing. :D

If you were on the way I would but Irvine is far south from me. I'm on the tip of Los Angeles county so the LA convention center is not too far.
 
I'd love to go if I had a legitimate company to use.

When I was a high school student (mid 80's) I read imported computer magazines (popular computing, byte, pc magazine, etc) they weren't easy to find here, sometimes I spent hours at the US Embassy Lincoln Center (a library) yes... Im a geek :)

At that time most magazines had a readers info card, and ads had a reference number, so if you wanted to know more you circled that number, mail the reader card and with luck a few months later you received vendor info.

Since I was in the same position as you, I invented a company name: Peutronics, my thinking at the time was that the vendors would not pay attention to a high school student but they would to a company with proper name :) and used it for years the same way.

When I finally started my first commercial endeavour (interfase cables for casio digital diaries) one thing I didn't had to think was the company name, that biz ended about 10 years ago but I still use the same name, now as a LLC

One of these days I'll probably do that, Some day I'll probably end up doing some type of manufacturing or production and would like to own my own buisiness.

BTW. Peutronics is dangerously close to the pneumatics company, Pneutronics lol.
 
Almost forgot. My school did end up entering the competition. They got second place & didn't even finish the project. Just entered in a couple of pieces of it & the plans. I was shocked. :confused:

Besides some lousy pictures (I can post them if anyone's interested) do to the overwhelming amount of stuff (it was my first time) & a bunch of literature I picked up a coupon to share.
