[TheForge] web cam

[dave mudge]

Your ABANA dues 'almost' cover the cost of the two magazines that you get.
The budget for the web cam for this event was about $150.
Jim Guy used his own web cam and his own laptop and his own wireless set-up.
He volunteered his time and expertise.
I had to really push hard to get ABANA to pay for the wireless phone hook-up
to broadcast the signal from the web cam.
You have obviously never looked into the cost of  "streaming video" or the
equipment that one would need to be able to send 5
different signals, simultaneously to the web site. For an event that happens
for four days every two years, I don't think that it would be a wise way to
spend the member's money.

I take it our cameraman has gone to bed as it keeps repeating the
same image.
In this day and age we should be able to see and hear live feeds
from each demo...Abana membership ain't cheap, can it really cost
all that much?....Pete F
