For the record, we had a lot of failures at SELEM 2008. I had two DPSS lasers die on me right before the event. (My own fault) This ended up creating some high pressure repair work for DZ early saturday morning. (Fortunately, his fix worked!)

Then Steve Roberts had a failure on one of his computers. (That's why the live play contest didn't happen.) James had computer problems too.

Marc had a problem with his 3 watt projector that turned out to be nothing more than dirty optics, but at the time he thought his laser was going south...

I'm sure there were a few other issues that I've forgotten... But yeah, anytime you box up a bunch of gear and transport it long distances, *something* is going to break! SELEM 2007 had it's share of broken equipment as well.

Even so, it's always a great time.
