· Score: 4, Insightful
I can usually fight off boredom by thinking critically about the topics being covered. Then when I feel myself getting bored, I start to think of good points to raise or questions to ask. If those tactics don't work out, I recommend reading Flow : The Psychology of Optimal Experience, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Amazon)

It is a huge show that goes from Thursday through Sunday. It is primarily for ham radio equipment, but has tons of vintage/used/new/whatever computer equipment.
Why wouldn't you consider Microsoft to be a player in the high-end database space? I think that over the next 5 or so years we will see SQL Server being used in places traditionally reserved for Oracle or DB2.
