Ironically, I've had the task of trying to teach my father how to use the computer over the past few years and now he's at the point where he's forgotten it all. I call my mother and he my senior kids. :) My father wasn't a workshop or home improvement guy...we are very different in that respect. Our one major commonality is successful sales careers.Quote:

My dad was doing ok for awhile, Bill, and I had things setup so it was pretty much "click and play", but he's gotten pretty wifty over the past year or so and just cannot remember the simplest things about the computer. At the point, the only one who uses it is the RN that I pay to visit every two weeks for meds management so that his stuff and my mother's gets ordered from ExpressScripts promptly.
This is held in a very large woodshop, when i was a kid this was a a fascination for me, the show and tell are pretty cool and there is plenty to do, the vista and now main street are alive with restaurants.
Not everyone bring their laptops many do yet i would not say it is a requirement
Jim definately owns a LARGE WOODSHOP, with plenty of room for the classes on the schedule and large open areas for small to large group discussions and vendor demonstrations. There are pictures of his events and his shop in our archives if you search the CNC Forum.
Jim, I hope you are going to invite Don Mayhew again this year. His demos were very popular.

Anyone from northern states or "better yet' from Quebec ....that maybe interested in car pooling to attend this camp ?!
Cheers, Robert
Robert, I'm in the Philadelphia PA are and driving down on Wednesday; returning on Saturday.
Jim.....Sorry for this VERY late reply, but, for some reason I can only imagine ( forgot to press the "Subscribe to this thread and notify me of changes:"), I did not see before your reply !?! :o
Anyhow, not to push in any fashion, are you still offering ?!
So far, no one closer to Quebec / VT / Maine border has come forward / offered !?
Later, Robert ;)
If you can get yourself to some where near me, no problem. It's not a bad drive, but I need to leave early enough to be around Philadelphia before the morning demolition derby starts to be able to get to the destination at a reasonable hour. Message me privately.
I have a few seats left if anyone wants to attend now is the time camp is well filled this year !!
Remember Bring yer Show and tell there is a vote which will pay for the winner !!
