| Agon Members at CES Anything's possible in terms of weather, but rain usually doesn't last long. There was an exception to this a few years ago when it rained more or less steadily for three days straight during CES. What a mess! | |
| The different between Versa Dynamic 2.0 2.3 Yes, there are differences, though I don't know them off the top of my head. I know a couple of people with 2.0's who surely wouldn't mind getting them updated without having to go broke doing it. Shoot me an email and I'll put you in touch with o... | |
