No twitter either. But it might have been fun to have Ivan tweet his CES movements, sights and impressions. Not like he didn't have enough to do during the trip. Although I must say that was a phenomenal, job well done, the "conventional" way.

Joe........Ivan's Tweet from CES: "Sitting in room uploading photos to AA right now."
That's some kind of interesting reading.

Twitter is very useful to keep up to date on real time events and things that I have tangential interest in...most of it is noise, though.

I ain't no English professer, but, we should consider the root of "twitter" is the first four letters of that word.....
