Another non-calculator Conference item

[Richard Nelson]

Hello,

 

I kept hearing a strange clunking noise (near Cyrille) during the
Conference.

It turned out to be a Dyna-Flex gyro "wrist exerciser" which is a 2-3/4"
diameter 

ball mechanism that you get started rotating and by wrist action you
pump 

energy into the gyro to make the RPM's ever faster - to a specified
limit of 

13,000 RPM.  Several attendees bought them at Frys and were becoming 

well "exercised" during the Conference.  A model with four red LED's is 

also available which glow when the gyro reaches a medium speed.

 

With two attendees from the UK, two from Australia, one each from Canada


and Germany, the Conference was well attended with a 15% increase in 

attendance over last year.  We had over twice the number of door prizes 

as attendees and at least one calculator for each attendee - aside from
an 

HP-12Cp 25th.  My thanks for everyone's effort to make the Conference 

happen.  We all look forward to HHC 2007 with two Conferences planned.

One will be in San Diego and one in London during September and October.

The exact dates will be decided as soon as possible.

 

X < > Y,

 

Richard
