Here we are, half way through the summer holidays (or at the end of them if you are in Scotland) and, apart from those times when we are on holiday ourselves, it is a very productive time of year.

Iconic but not in the same quality league as the iPod's themselves.

As promised in my blog earlier in the week, a quick report back from the array of exhibitions that remain underway at the NEC. In fact if you jumped in your car this morning there is still time for an interesting afternoon before the shows close today – but would it be worth it?
