I bought two Geek T-shirts and I am very happy with it. By the way, Vista build 5456 was released on the same day, whoever has chance to get it on their hands should try it out, it's way better than the Beta 2 build 5348. :-)

The Neil Squire Society was the Charity recipient of the Geek - T-shirt sales in Burnaby, total donations were $640, thank you everyone for your support! Our display of assistive technology for people with disabilities attracted much attention. I encourage you all to check out our website.

Cheers!

It was a great event and a good way to get exposure to the newest OS from Microsoft. I feel I paid the price for heading to one of the sessions rather than joining the crowd to collect my bag with the resources and the Vista beta install media. There were none left when I returned from the first session :( otherwise I would have joined the install fest with my notebook. Other than that it was well worth attending. Thanks to all who helped put the event together. Your hard work shows very well.

Loved the webcast. Sat here on Saturday morning and chowed down on the Vista information.

Guys, the support folks for the webcast were excellent. Really helpful. I availed of them a few times for questions on Vista more than actual tech assistance, to be honest.

Would have loved to see this kind of event live, but this was definitely the second best thing.

Was there a live Q&A session for folks who presented or did they circulate through the respective breakout sessions?

I really enjoyed my time at EnergizeIT since it is about working with the community and giving time and resources to things that matter.

As a highlight of my day, I had the special honour and pleasure of introducing Dr. Gary Birch, executive director of the Neil Squire Society (NSS) and a noted researcher in the field. Gary provided an inspiring talk in the morning about NSS followed by a video in the afternoon. Gary noted that Microsoft technologies are integral to some of the technologies they provide. This is what it is all about--supporting community needs too!

Hello All...

I had a wonderful time at Engerize IT... I also bought 3 shirts, Rick.. 1-me, 1-my tech friend, 1-baby... I loved the breakout seesions and always love the goodie's... I'm not if anyone's mentioned this yet but the "Server Longhorn Beta 2" DVD that was got had no PID (Installation Key), so I can't use it. Can you direct me to where to get one...?

Thanks for all the fun, and see you at the next event...

I keep checking my mailbox to see if a Vista DVD arrives as promised at the registration desk since they ran out and not everyone received one. Next time I'll know to stay in line and hand in my eval form before the good stuff runs out rather than going to a breakout session.

Hey Edward

Did you send me a contact form from this blog asking for a shipped DVD kit? I do know we had some left over from other venues and that we were planning on shipping them out to people who contacted us. If you DID leave us the contact and shipping info, something will be going out and I will look into shipping dates for you.
