Several of the talks at Tonmocon were involved in this discussion too...along with some great pics.

The octos were busy walking again while many of you were living it up in Monterey. Scroll down for short new clips (I know- I know- a couple of the links are broken- no time right now to fix):

ok- now back to the data...

Something new! Something new! :mrgreen:
