I think what impressed me most was the shear volume of information to be had. Between the break out sessions, the general sessions, that partner pavillion and networking...man, it was almost too much. I can't wait for February!<br>Oh, and whatever anyone heard about people surfing on a wave machine behind the Imperial Palace last year isn't true...what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.</p>Jeff MirisolaFri, 08 Dec 2006 05:45:09 -0000http://www.rickyjordan.com/2006/12/your_favorite_s.html#comment-1789692<p>I don't know if I should be happy or sad, but I *can't* rattle off my serial number...does that make me less of a user than you guys/gal? I hope I don't lose my blog over this...</p>Jeff MirisolaFri, 08 Dec 2006 05:37:44 -0000http://www.rickyjordan.com/2006/12/your_favorite_s.html#comment-1789691<p>Put me in the "geek club" too because I can also conjure up my SW serial number in about two seconds.</p><p>One of my favorite things about SWW is just meeting and talking with the people. I find the ways other people are using SolidWorks amazing.</p>rob rodriguezThu, 07 Dec 2006 22:11:32 -0000http://www.rickyjordan.com/2006/12/your_favorite_s.html#comment-1789690<p>LOL! Guilty here too on the serial number thing!</p><p>Great posts so far....let's get some more going!</p>Ricky JordanThu, 07 Dec 2006 22:08:31 -0000http://www.rickyjordan.com/2006/12/your_favorite_s.html#comment-1789689<p>Richard, that is scary... I can rattle off my SW serial number at the drop of a hat. I must be a geek too.</p><p>2006 was my first trip to SWW. My big objective for the trip was attending as many forums on setting up our CAD network, the SolidWorks options, and managing files and large assemblies. I wanted to make sure that the practices we had put in place were in line with what the SW gurus recommended.</p><p>I was pleased to find out we were in good shape with our implementation.</p><p>Having access to be able to talk directly with the leaders at SolidWorks that were directly responsible for different areas of the software was plus for me also.</p>Anna WoodThu, 07 Dec 2006 22:00:42 -0000http://www.rickyjordan.com/2006/12/your_favorite_s.html#comment-1789688<p>Okay, I'll bite.</p><p>Back in 2000 (or 2001 - sometimes they all run together), I sat down at the "Survey Table" to give SolidWorks some of my opinions. Two of the nicest ladies asked me several questions about myself, my industry, and eventually one of them asked for my SolidWorks serial number. Before the other one could get the words "We don't need to know...", I instinctively rattled off the 16 digits. She looked me right in the eye and very dryly said:</p><p>"What a Geek"</p><p>I laughed for weeks.</p>Richard DoyleThu, 07 Dec 2006 14:02:11 -0000
