Look, I think Trump is horrible president, but to be fair, those drops in March 2020 were gonna happen no matter who was president, so let's just be academically honest here.

My dream? Both "-trons" release a full set of standards-compliant IPMX endpoints. Never gonna happen, though.

Real prediction? Traditional "IT" companies will come hard with their own #ProAV (not just #UCC) hardware - Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, HP, Intel, etc. #AVinTheAM #AVTweeps

Back to your earlier question about interop - true AVoIP interop. Also, an easy-to-deploy and cost-effective single-plane-of-glass monitoring solution. Also, figuring out that big in-house integrators should be treated just like any other integrator. #InHouseIntegrator #AVinTheAM

Boy, I may be old fashioned, but for a live event if you give me the choice of all switching / processing / routing / recording done right in the room or all that processing done in the cloud, I'll choose on-prem every time. WANs are still just too prone to hiccups. #AVinTheAM #AVTweeps

I think it is hard to tell. What I can tell you is that I don't currently make AV buying decisions with sustainability in mind (at all) - and I assume most manufacturers know that. I buy with economics, reliability, and features in mind. #AVinTheAM #AVTweeps

I guess that depends. Control interop has been solid for a while. Direct digital signal interop (HDMI / DisplayPort / SDI) has also been solid - and will grow with the continued convergence of Thunderbolt and USB. AVoIP interop will def not happen in '25... #AVintheAM #AVTweeps

3/3 The police stop by and arrest me for illegally breaking and entering. But, I tell them, I've uncovered all this waste!! Will the police let me go?

2/3 So they ask me to then break into the district offices overnight and look through all the personnel files, student files, and financial records. I record all their social security numbers, dates of birth, and account numbers in a notebook.
