Okay so Im pissed off ,coz I cant get there,but heres an idea,how about a live stream via Web Cam so that some of us others who cant make it, can at least see what we missed out on, and still in a small way be part of it (IE Via the chat on this forum for example whilst watching the live stream of the convention) Just a though, the necessary prg is on C-Net avail for download, you can be your own I-tv station, and of coz if you happen to also be logged in to this forum at the same time, the chat section could become overused but in a nice way Laughing Any thoughs about this?

neat idea about the webcam, but im not sure how i could get it setup?

im guessing id have access to a phone line, but then the only connection i would have would be dialup - you cant really have a streaming webcam on dialup can you???

any suggestions on how to get this thing working???

So if they just bring along their wireless router along with the USB part that plugs into the laptop it should work, but U will also need a Web Cam for it.
So the BIG question remains, who is coming 2 da convention who has a wireless broadband account. C'MON GUYS there must be somebody....

Hmm well the uni owns its own very fast connection. There should be wal ports in the hall I would think or at least a wireless hotspot. Perhaps a staff member could log you into the network and enable a stream?
