Test results and an update

Hello again,

So as last mentioned, I purchased a couple of PQLabs frames from the new G4S line to test.  These are stellar frames.  The specs are bit misleading but that's not entirely unusual in the multitouch overlay camp these days.

I'm going to be relatively brief in this update with the promise of more details to come soon.  I went to a convention a few weeks ago called CETW.  The overall feel of the thing was less then what I'd expected.  I was still able to use the event for some good networking.  Just not as solid a lead as I'd hoped it would be.  CETW stands for Consumer Engagement Technology World.  All in all it was a fairly small affair.

The actual trip was fraught with problems.  A mix up with bags on my way out the door lead me to NY City with nothing but the bag of clothes and no wallet, ID, credit cards or other.  Fortunately I was able to get to and from the city without incident due to the TLC offered by Amtrak customer care (and some creative SMS from the lovely wife).

Add to this a serious twist in the weather, day one of CETW was the same New England was hit with a Nor Easter.  I apparently was not bundled properly for this weather as I got very ill by the end of the first day of the show and headed back to Mass.  By the next day I was starting to get a little sick but fought on.

Long and short of it is that I've spent the last couple of weeks with a "mild" pneumonia.  Slowly recovering, but the testing and reporting on such tests has been, understandably, lower priority to getting a whole lot of rest.

To give you the teaser I'd hoped to be a full fledged report:

I have a G4S from PQLabs to test side by side with the new ZaagTech X Slim Series.  The initial tests are remarkably close, but I don't want to let the cat completely out of the bag.

In additional news, despite being ill, I've launched our new and improved website at http://mesamundi.com.

Add to that a solid 24 hour Cyber Monday Sale for 5% off on our entire inventory (starting this morning)!

Well, signing off for now.  Back to resting and recuperating.
