The event was well done, but the interactions didn't exist and there was just "nothing" to it. No one talked to each other
Apart from a few cliques who I keep seeing buddying up with each other, I had a lot of chats with different faces. And they were not vendors 
Some thoughts from last year.
The keynote on encryption was "meh" - did not like the speaker. Kept going on about his books and achievements, really I would have preferred more stall time or chatting to people.
I know all conferences do it but please stop advertising for next year. Let me enjoy this year, I don't care about your in-conference rate that expires at midnight. Let me have my in-conference rate for 2 weeks and I'll decide then.
Some stall holders were just grumpy, disinterested. I don't get why they were there. One of them when I tried talking to them said "We sell storage systems for the 50k mark, so mainly enterprises" - But you are at a heavy duty SMB focused event?
I think a lot of the "user" talks are very thin. Not enough meat, felt like they did it for the free conference pass as opposed adding value to the event.
For the sake of fairness.
My query was back in 2014 
I suspect the structure has changed a fair bit. So give it a go.
Zero Tier....
Zero Tier....
Zero Tier....
Did I mention Zero Tier?
Let me test mine and see how it compares
Give Webroot a try. Really great team and product.
Mine is an I7-4000 series. Nvidia GPU again.
16GB of Ram with SSD. Well a few SSDs.
One can get work done.
If one installs Windows
No one's heard that phrase?

Must be just on this side of the pond. It's used all the time.
I prefer that if the power dies I don't risk losing data that's the danger of rapid mode.
Ewww, whitepaper 
I'll add it to the pile.
I can't find things when I search for them on Mango Lassi.
I was trying to dig out Scott's article on lanless concepts but all the keywords throw up 10 pages of lots of other stuff.
If you type in
LAN Citadel Scott
You get lots of other bits. Is it just me struggling to find old content?

Is there any specific thing you're after, or is it just a "why not?" kind of strategy (and there's nothing wrong with that).
I like the Ubiquiti model of paying a lower price, because they don't have the sales/marketing/support structure of HP/Cisco.
Why pay a premium for average support? If the box is dead, get a new one. If it's a config, then I'll fix it
Because they want to pay a lower price with RackSpace Hybrid. Certain users having Exchange, others having Rackspace's own email.

So RackSpace calculator = $1000 a month for 100 Exchange mailboxes
Office 365 E1 = $800 a month for 100 user accounts.
Why go with RackSpace? Because they can give you IMAP style cheaper.

Scott, at SpiceWold last year, Rackspace rep told me that their Hosted Exchange service was in fact now O365 hosted by MS, it's not on their systems any longer.
So we pay a $6 premium for their trigger happy sales rep? Sweet.
If it's for archive data, this could work quite nicely for you

Or do you mean the individual plug inserts that you use to keep children from sticking metal objects into the outlet?
In the UK those are fun.
The top PIN opens the lower 2 pins, now the live electrics are exposed. Meaning that they can electrocute themselves. Where as without the 3 pin plastic cover, they are safer.
