CES attendance is down this year? Because, Casinos are selling luxury rather than gambling opportunities. Hotel rooms are $300-500/night, and meals are $30 plus tip. Corporations reduced their CES budgets, this year.

CES for next year is a question loud and clear, for casino owners to answer? Years ago, Comdex exhibition only cost $90,000. Hotels are cheap and meals are almost free. Gambling supported the casinos.

Now, we need windows(Bill Gates) to speed up virtual memory in hdd, to support costly $99 dram shortages(in Vista). 500 gb hdd is only $179.00. Linux is a mess to rearrange the locations on Flash cards and hdds.

The way to do it is to re-arrange the placement of the files on the tracks. Virtual memory has to be very close to the browser. Operating system codes in front. All other codes at the tail end of the hdd? The shorter the distance hdd heads travel, the faster the responses. Restoring illegal shut down, using compressed operating codes, can be from the very end of the hdd disk near the second duplicating FAT table?

But, CES may have to work out at another location than Las Vegas, too? Maybe Orlando, Disney country?

Footnote on Las vegas gambling:
The payoff on slots is between 30-70% depending on casino traffic. Most starts at 30% return, by $20 funding. Try as many slots as possible at 1-5 cents slots, single bet. Quit right after reaching 30%-70 percent gain, before getting a card(then they know you). Once you established the odds, you can use a card and do serious gambling(larger stakes) on the same machines with multiple bets? Good Luck, but quit before you lose.

Footnote on most significant 2008 CES announcement:
Comcast made people aware that in late 2008, Comcast will have true 2 way(interactive) transmission of 160 mbps triple play cable service.
