Despite waking up at silly times of the morning I'm not feeling quite so ropey from jet lag. Seattle as it turns out is a nice city and some of the views towards the mountains are superb. The event itself is the usual mix of executives talking in a language few understand, sessions some great some bewilderingly technical and lots of lots of fatty food. A big plus at the moment is the dollar/pound conversion rate. First purchase was one of the as yet unavailable in the UK Mini iPods...I'm sure the credit card will take more of a bashing as the week passes as Mrs C arrives on Thursday before we head up to Whistler. Oh...Longhorn looks very smart...
