Check the entry for Jay Smith on the Celebrities list (link) (http://www.cgexpo.com/guests.htm#Vectrex):
"-- A true gaming visionary, In 1979, Jay designed Milton Bradley's Microvision, which was the world's first handheld system to use cartridges. Three years later, his design for the Vectrex, the first vector-based game console was launched by CGE." - {bold added - pzc}
So the Classic Gaming Expo was responsible for launching the Vectrex? Cool! Where'd you get the TARDIS, guys?
CGE...GCE...easy mistake. It reminds of when I was in eighth grade, and the high degree of overlap between computer nerds and D&D players caused some people I knew to refer to Tandy's flagship computer as "the TSR-80".
I'm just pointing this out for fun, btw. You guys are in Vegas now worrying about far more important details for the show than some silly typo. See you in a couple of days!
