Technically, you need to be represented by a company; however, you can actually show up and register at the door...it's just good to pre-register. I don't personally reccomend it, but I have seen quite a few people go with the company name "My Company" 😉

😱

I'll tell them to have an Oregon location for the Fall TT 😉

Are you actually involved with that at all? I thought you were running some amdtechtour site or something. 😕 Am I thinking of someone else?

If you *are* involved, you and I need to talk. If AMD wants to earn our business again, you could always wine-and-dine my company and give us some kickass offers, ya know. It's gonna be damned hard to compete with Intel's wine-and-dine but if you're willing to try, we can go to the strip bar right around the corner from my office. :laugh:

I used to go when I lived in Atlanta. Monarch Computers is the local host there.

Here in New Orleans there is nothing 🙁


 
WTF, South FL gets so screwed with tours of all sorts!!


Lazy bastards don't want to drive 10 hours to the end of a peninsula.

That's why I'm sayin'

THREE in California (California?! OMGWTF?!?!) and one in *Washington*, but none in Oregon?

Heck, Intel is *based* in Oregon - you'd think AMD would do one here just to spite them!

Well, I build computers as a side semi-buisness and almost always use AMD chips. I don't *ahem* have a liscense or an official name but I sorta fit the bill... I would mainly want to go to see new tech and pick up one of those cheap*er* A64 bundles.
