while the focus over the weekend seemed to be on amiwest, members of the french amiga community were having a great time at microalchimie III. over on amigans.net, K-L
posted the following update today:
At the very same time of AmiWest (well nearly with 9 hours of time difference between France and California), MicroAlchimie, organized by the Triple A, was running strong !
About 50 Amigans, Atarists, Amstradists, retrogaming fans, etc.. gathered to have a really fun week-end.
For the fun we connected a MiniMig with an Atari MegaSTE (nullmodem) and played Lotus II on big screens ! It was a great moment !
We also watched Amiwest live stream (unfortunatley the sound was really low) and could post the latest news on French Amiga News sites.
Relec and Amedia were there with lots of software and hardware for Classic and NG. Relec installed the first Sam460rc in their RedOne X configuration for a new customer !
WarmUP association (for MorphOS users) was there too ! Papiosaur and I took a picture of us since our sites (Meta-Morphos.fr and Amiga-NG.org) are nearly brothers 
AFLE was there too and took new subscribers for our French printed magazine Amiga Power.
Well, enough talking, here are picture and videos :
