Got back about 8 hours ago. Will be unpacking for days. To save me sending individual emails I have received all trades/purchases that I was expecting in the post while I was away.

The chip show was superb - thanks to everyone involved in organising, and thanks to all the dealers that remembered to bring things for me

Thanks also for the welcome hospitality from all those I met during the past 12 days, including many that I regularly correspond with but had not met before. As always, a special thanks to Gene for all his running around on my behalf, general co-operation and the use of his office as a dumping ground!
