Greg and John, My flight is already booked and I am going mainly for the classes but I also learn a lot from the exhibit area and well stocked tool suppliers. If the PTG had made it known that the major usual tool and supply houses would not be present it would have possibly impacted registration numbers. This is now going to put a damper on things. A few years ago didn't Renner notify us that they wouldn't be present due to the holiday conflict? If they did have to pay NY and Rochester sales tax it would still be better than not seeing the products at all. Bob Hull --- "John M.
