I wanted to extend a thank you to Danielle, the NTG staff involved and all the attendees for a great time at the inaugural MangoCon. Already looking forward to next July. :thumbsup_tone1:

All registered. See you guys in a couple of months.

Mod Edit: Thread is open for discussion, but due to error the equipment is not available. Read the thread before jumping in.

I just won one of these in a contest over on the SW forums and I think I'd like to sell it. I'll be posting it on craigslist locally but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has been looking at something similar and wants a deal. These are selling on Amazon from Meraki for $1574...pm me or make me an offer if interested. Assuming it gets here by the 19th, I could bring it to Mangocon.

All registered. Arriving on Tuesday May 7 in the afternoon and staying at the Holiday Inn Express.

Anyone from this community going to Microsoft Ignite conference this year? I will be there...I arrive in Orlando on Sunday 9/21.

Anyone planning on going this year? I have approval to go. It would be nice to know at least one person of the few thousand attending.

My favorite t-shirts are the ones that come in fat man sizes. Every year I take home about 15 shirts from SpiceWorld and promptly give 13 of them to my son .

@scottalanmiller I'm a little on the fence. Its so damn expensive (and long). I would almost rather save the company some cash and go to SpiceWorld instead. Does anyone even go to SpiceWorld anymore?

After going to Spiceworld once, I can confidently say there is little reason to go. In fact, if my ticket had not been comped, I would have been PISSED that I paid anything to be there.

The @scale cruise was super fun, don't miss that if you go. Besides that, the only other highlight was flaming Dr. Peppers with @scottalanmiller et al.

I've been there 5 times and to be completely honest, the biggest takeaway has always been networking with you guys. I didn't attend one breakout session in years 3 though 5. My admission would also be comped so the price is right.

Travel mugs are good. The BEST mugs are Tervis mugs...if any vendor was to give those away, it would instantly be the best swag of all time.

I think I got it figured out. I'll follow up tomorrow if it doesn't work as planned tomorrow morning.

I'm planning on going to the game on Thursday. At the very least, I will be watching it some place but since I currently live in NM, I don't think I could justify not going if I'm less than 100 miles away especially since its the home opener, on Thursday Night and against the Jets.

I recently found myself in a situation where a lifestyle change was necessary and also was looking for a fitness tracker. I narrowed mine down to the Vivosmart and the Samsung Gear Fit2. It was close and I really liked the Garmin's feature set but ended up going with the Gear Fit2 simply because the Samsung Note 7 promo made them available l on the cheap on Craigslist. I love mine and I'm sure you will love yours as well.

If you haven't gotten a copy lined up yet, let me know. I have a copy that contains gui and command line, standard & datacenter. I can drop it on a USB drive and mail it to you.

I'm originally from Buffalo and I noticed right away that the home opener is that Thursday and only an hour away. Not sure if I can swing it but it would be hard to miss that game being only an hour away.

This may seem simple but have you tried disabling the NIC when connected wirelessly? I've seen connection issues with wired when the wireless radio was on but not connected...I suppose it could cause issues the other way as well.

Growing up, I always thought WNY was the best place to live. When I moved away to NM at the age of 25, my young thoughts of the area were quickly confirmed...WNY is the best place in the world. Can't wait to move back home.

I had been buying all my equipment from the same guy for the last 8 years but last week, he decided to leave the IT sales stuff and now I'm looking for a new vendor. Who are you guys using that you're happy with?

Just landed...about to get on shuttle to the hotel.

@scottalanmiller

I kind of got the impression that Grove will be limited in what they can get. Maybe I misunderstood.

That's my understanding. But limited in vendors, not limited in scope, I think. LIke they can get mice, but maybe not the brand you want specifically.

I'll keep my eye out for when it gets rolling

I left Sunday but didn't go back to NM...my dad picked me up and I went and hung out in Buffalo. Played golf Monday and Tuesday then flew back last night. I am wrecked! I'm thinking I'll need to the weekend to fully recover.

So much walking, so little sleep.
