Let the show begin! Trevor DeMaat of Kharma USA
starts opening the crates to begin setting up. As always, Kharma is displaying with Lamm

Flying to the CES is rarely easy. Doug Schneider was
stranded at the airport in his own city. Because of a mechanical problem, Doug had to wait
for five hours. However, Ottawa, Canada Internet company Skylink saved the day with their
new wireless network card (from Nokia) that allows Internet connections in airports and
hotels. They kindly lent the use of it for the long wait.
