Sounds like some basketball game lol

I got to meet up with magictom in Hawaii to deliver some CPUs a couple weeks ago, so after a tour of his lab, we went out for dinner.

Fun was had by all

Left to Right: Thomas, Me, my friend Dan

There is restaurants for all types though

Yes, the realization that I have to find another 2500 CPUs to catch up with the guy in the middle was very exhausting ... but CPUShack has to eat Sushi about 2500 more times before he catches up with me. So we're kind of even LOL

One of the great things about Hawaii, other than the beaches & the weather, is the wide range of food available. There are many Japanese here, so Sushi tends to be excellent, and the fish is always fresh.

BTW, it's a lot of fun to meet up with another collector in person. Any of you coming to Hawaii let me know!

Yeah, more collector meetings!

I wonder how long it will take until we really get a big meeting (when travelling cost equal chip prices - or better the other way round!)
