It really was a fantastic conference and we enjoyed reams of discussions with existing customers and attendees at our booth. We demoed our latest release X8 which was a huge success - obviously you love what we did the last 10 months. As always, we raffled off an XBOX 360 at the last expo day. Congrats to the winner - enjoy some gaming fun!
