Thanks for the Reply Kara, I'm checking ZDNET right now.
On the comdex site, the online registration seems closed, I'll try to 
locate a contact email and ask them.

This is what a get for being lazy, I guess.

Also I never have understood the high prices charged for something that can 
be free.  Trade show and magazines are exceptional at this.  How many mags 
have you ever gotten for free (you know the ones that they keep sending 
you, for months or years after you never replied to the 5th 'last reminder 
about renewing' ) that have some ungodly 'normal' subscription price.  Does 
anyone really pay this?

I mean if it's free to the majority (anyone in the biz who gets on the 
right mailing lists), then why $100 at the door, I might spend $20 or so 
since I screwed up, but for $100, no thanks.

Do you know if this $100 door price includes anything worth it 
(conferences, talks, things that are normally charged for, not included 
with the free passes) , or is this just exhibit access?

Oh well.
