Oregon is beautiful this time of year

I'm sitting in the airport in Redmond, Oregon, just wasting time waiting for my flight back.
The Rally was a success for us. I was kept busy the whole time. We were the wi-fi hotspot and help desk for the event.

It amazes me how many more RVers are using computers. Last year there were times when our hotspot location was empty. This time around we were constantly busy. We had 8 public PC workstations set up and there was always a waiting line for them. We had 3 phone lines for the folks still using modems, and WiFi throughout the registration building. We only had table space for 20 laptop users, so some folks were sitting on the floor. I hope the future rallies can give us more. More chairs, more bandwidth, more PCs for the attendees.

Many more of the attendees understand the technology and are able to get connected without assistance. There were still plenty who didn't have a clue. It is fun to help folks get connected the first time. I think we were appreciated.

The next big rally is in Minot, ND. Stop by the Coach Connect Hotspot and say Hi!
