[conspire] Elise's laptops and tablets and Kindles.

[Elise Scher]

I was supposed to be taking off from work that Friday, 10/20. But there is
a training at my school in Hayward that day. So now I am not sure. But I
will be at Pacificon Saturday and Sunday.  Some day I would like to attend
the antenna forum
