Make as many copies of the floppies and CDROM as you want!

The AROS (and compiler) sources are on the ISO under Sources/ if you want to build it yourself too!

I only ask that people refrain from copying that 'flyer' that comes with the media kits - I want to leave that for the people who got a kit from AmigaDave.

One quick note: Due to the fact that the Replay Arcade code does not support LBA addressing in its IDE emulation, the as-shipped AROS m68k will not support IDE on the Replay Arcade.

I'm working on a replacement ROM image for those boards, and hope to get it to AmigaDave in time for the show.

Get together with ciento and others that want a show in the middle, or Eastern part of the country and make it happen.  Choose Spring Break for the time and we will have two USA Amiga shows to attend each year, AmiWest in Oct. and your show in the Spring.

It just takes some hard work and organization by a few dedicated individuals to make it happen.  You might find many Amiga users that feel the same way as you that would be willing to help.  I would try to attend if there were a second Amiga show each year, even though it would be a long trip to get there.

Until you have it set up, you should attend AmiWest and gather support and ideas from other Amiga users that are attending.

There is a really slim chance I might make it this year! Last minute type deal.
I have been talking with a few Amiga people who used to be involved with User Groups in the Virginia, Washington, Maryland area - every one likes the idea, If some one else does it.
I should back on my feet for real by next spring, so just maybe I'll try pushing harder then.
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

Even if you can't come. Be sure to watch as Bill Bosari works really hard to web cast.

I'm in. Just have it in Tupper Lake.


You're in Tupper?  Are you on the Upstate Amiga Mailing List?


Won't be able to watch the streaming this year. I'll be camped out in Peru for the weekend.

Almost finished packing up to head out the door for the drive to AmiWest 2011 Show!

I've been up since 3am working on last minute details and configurations (which will continue after I arrive in Sacramento, right up to the time the show starts, if not after it starts as well).

See some of you there and for the rest of you, maybe you will make it a priority to attend next year, or organize a show in your area.  I am not opposed to traveling to get to more than one Amiga show each year.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Totally agree!  Bill deserves a trophy for all the hard work he does (in fact, I think he got an award during last year's show).  All the SACC guys put in a ton of work to make this show happen every year.  It is too bad that more Amiga users don't try, or can't manage to attend the show.

Heh, we're still waiting for you to make it to the Commodore Vegas Expo (CommVEx).  Next year will be our eighth year.

And Las Vegas is nearer to you than Sacramento,

As promised, here are the downloadables for the AROS AmiWest 2011 media kit:

http://www.evillabs.net/AROS/AmiWest-2011/

Please note that over the past week, MASSIVE fixes have occurred, especially in m68040 and m68060 support.  I highly recommend picking up the AROS m68k nightly from http://www.aros.org's download page.

But I am not a Commodore 64 user.  If the show were more about Amigas, I would make more effort to go.  I did try to get there a couple of years, but it did not work out.  Maybe next year.

As I said in another post, CommVEx is about 70% Commodore and 30% Amiga.  However, that is dependent on our presenters and exhibitors.  Bring more Amiga, and the scales will tip.

FWIW, at this year's CommVEx, there were two AmigaOne G4's, a SAM 460, a SAM 440, an A500 (set up for gaming), and the MCC-216 with its Amiga cores (in addition to its other cores).  The grand raffle prize was a Amiga Video Toaster 2000 system with an A2630 board running at 25 MHz., 1 meg chip RAM, 8 meg Fast RAM, 4 gig SCSI hard drive, CD-ROM drive, dual floppy drives, Amiga OS 3.1, Video Toaster software 4.3, keyboard, mouse, a new clock battery, and a variety of games and demos loaded in the hard drive.  We had Tim Waite running a sales table with Amiga hardware and software for sale.

Still recovering from the Amiwest Show,

@thread

If anyone had any doubts about how many different things were available for viewing and purchase at AmiWest, 2011, this should drive home the point.
Surely a new AmiWest record for diversity.

I believe this is from Friday evening during setup and classic clinic.
