Image Analysis Decisions

I recently asked a question about image analysis instrumentation and received
many useful comments and lots of advice. Thank-you.

I am now more confused than ever, and somewhat concerned about spending lots
of money and not being able to accomplish the tasks that I need to.

Several others have indicated to me that they are about to purchase similar
image analysis equipment. Would there be interest to organize a meeting at
the ISAC conference for those who would like to share the information, bias,
quotations???? is this ethical?) and anything else that has impressed them
while looking at various systems.
This meeting would be a roundtable discussion format (possibly close to a
bar!) but would include only those seriously interested in purchasing image
instrumentation. Perhaps it would end up with us sharing our ignorance, but
that too is useful.

Please indicate to me if anyone is interested and I will organize it.
I am aware of at least 8 groups that are about to spend in the $200-400,000
range within the year. It seems that we all have a lot to gain, and even
more to lose by making inappropriate decisions.
