I'm actually not too thrilled to meet Bob... I sent him an email almost 2 weeks ago, asking about service for a non-Rolex watch, and he never responded. I'll still be there though!

IT Expert Needed!!!
As stated, Bob Ridley is attending and doing a brief "Show and Tell" at out initial restaurant location.
Bob will be sharing a few pictures with us and my plan is to connect a lap top to a flat screen TV at the restaurant - to display Bob's pictures. I am struggling with what kind of cable is needed to connect a Dell PC to a flat screen TV with a VGA or HDMI inpput. Any IT experts out there? Help!!! |

Please consider me as confirmed. Any recommendations on hotel with a nice day spa. Wife wants to do something non Rolex related while we are there if you can believe that!
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help the event.

Don't know for sure. My guess is the newer the TV the more likely it is to have both HDMI and VGA connections. Please don't consider me an expert. Others probably know for sure what will work.

Depends on the TV model and laptop. The newer TVs will have VGA and HDMI. It also depends on what your laptop has for output. If it only has VGA, then just bring the VGA cable and hope the TV does too. If your laptop is newer and has an HDMI output, then the HDMI cable will suffice as long as the tv is not an old CRT or projection TV. All LCDs have at least one HDMI port. Older TVs will have VGA port instead of HDMI.
If you can, just bring both the VGA cable and HDMI cable if your laptop has both. The TV will have one or the other for sure. |

I would recommend calling the restaurant and asking for the brand and model of the TV. If they can't go over and look, I recommend visiting the restaurant yourself and finding out. Then search for the specs to see what kind of connections it has and see if it matches what you have. |

Any standards for dress code? I normally dress business casual on most days. I certainly do not want to overdress.

You should come down Lisa. It would be great to see you and your family again. I'll even get my wife to come along so you can see that black MOP again.

They would love it, Vu. However, by now most of the rooms are booked and what's left is terribly expensive.

I am pretty sure it is an obligation of the event organizer to buy all attendees a new Rolex.
