- …COMDEX.
- Exhibiting at both of these
shows was quite an accomplishment. CADCON and CPM-83 were scheduled
in the same week. We loaded all the company's computers into a
station wagon, and Greg Lutz and I drove to Anaheim and set up the
equipment for CADCON at the Disneyland Hotel. Greg, Mike Ford (who
flew in late that night), and I shared a room at the Disneyland Hotel.
We manned the booth for the show, then tore down everything, loaded it
into the station wagon, and drove through the night back to Kensington
(near Berkeley), where we dumped all of the equipment in Greg's garage
at 4 A.M. The CPM-83 team arrived there
shortly thereafter, retrieved the equipment from the garage, and set
it up at CPM-83. That show opened the next day, staffed by a team
including those who had just awakened after sleeping off CADCON.
