Computex 2007 - Thanks For The Memory
written by John Chow on June 10th, 2007
Today is our last day at Computex Taipei. We will be flying home on Sunday night at 11:50PM and landing in Vancouver on Sunday night at 7:30PM. Yes, we will be landing at a time earlier than when we took off. Who said time travel was impossible?
Today, we will be doing some site seeing before heading to the airport later tonight. We had a great week at Computex Taipei and came away with a lot of fine memory. If you don’t believe me, check out these photos to see just how fine the memory were. It’s going to be fun getting all this free stuff through customs.



Unfortunately, all 474 USB drives in that bottle were empty shells. There was no memory in it.

Reply to this commentWasn’t that the purpose of the trip? To get free stuff for us? John is such a kind person!
Reply to this commentand may I suggest that the competition for a free usb flash drive should go something like this. First person to make a comment on this thread gets a free flash usb drive. (non hollow one)

John, you home yet? Hope you had a smooth trip back (no problems at the airport this time).
Reply to this commentThat middle picture reminds me of the last thing the lobster saw… John’s got that “I’m about to eat you” look in his eye here too.
