RANT MODE Re: [BC] Convention Costs

[Ernie Belanger]

Mike, I think you misunderstood,

We purchased extention chords which a exactly the type and specifications 
that TSE  (Trade Show Electrical) rents to exhibitors and uses under carpet. 
We have their guys lay them and tape them and connect them per the safety 
and show rules..

One of my guys is the Captain at the local Volunteer Fire Company in his 
town and a State Registered EMT here in NY.. We don't cut any corners when 
it comes to safety! Wayne is two levels above anal on that stuff.
