I'm certainly still thinking about it. Unfortunately, I've been really busy with life and other things recently and I've left some projects of mine drift, this one being one of them.

I'm sure everyone who was originally interested is still interested, and perhaps a few more. The biggest problem I'm having is coming up with a good date to have it. I think Chicago is probably the best choice for the location just because it's a MOSTLY central location (sorry db) and it's such a big city that anyone who comes can still do some other activities before leaving.

Input?

Chicago would definately work for me. My wife is always trying to get me to take her up there to go shopping and visit friends. And as long as it's before September (wife is due with our second child) time isn't a problem.

Of course, I'm not exactly sure where up there would be a good place to meet.

I'm still interested in attending, even though I'm in New Mexico. I could always fly out with the excuse of visiting my folks.

Those of you interested should definitely add yourselves to the Member Frappr lists so we can quickly coordinate the gathering with everyone's proximity in mind and arrange for carpooling and directions.

See the sticky thread for a link to the Frappr maps.

They're waiting for me to continue moving farther away, until I can't reach Chicago anymore. :p

Did Omikron tell you... I told him that in confidence :lol: .
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
