I went up with Terry to the Westec back in the late 90s. That was a
blast. It took up something like 6 buildings at the Animalheim
Convention Center.


You probably came by our exhibit. I was one of the (s) table hands for
OmniTurn during those days at the Westec shows.


We well might have.


Loved taking a break and looking at the machinery. I was pretty new to
the business and seeing BIG mills and lathes turning big steel down to
smaller steel (Grin) was fascinating.


We looked more at components and things, but were fascinated by the
large packaging machinery, too.

One of the things that caught Terry's eye was an inexpensive fan he
could use for incubators he was building for parrots an other winged
creatures. He found one and did build a bunch in between the factory
automations he was doing. Similar: http://tinyurl.com/la39dpe
