Questions for AmiWest 2018 Exhibitors/Presenters

Until such time as the list of presenters (stage presentations) is published, we'll have to stick to the exhibitor list.

Contents of this thread will be in the hands of AmiWest. It will be their decision based on content/duplication etc. as to which questions are asked at the show as a supplement fo questions from show attendees.

The way you can best support your friends, companies, and representatives at the show starts with you. Please put some thought into your wording and ask questions in a serious manner.


Please post your questions in the format:

@name of exhibitor from the list below
[question]


This is essentially a copy of the information on the following listed page.
Further information on the exhibitors with clickable links: http://amiwest.net/
I'll monitor this list for any changes/additions.

So should we be..

But in the end, who really cares. AmiWest broadcasts are forty-five minutes of listening to people having problems setting up presentations or the hotel wifi, followed by several hours of filming empty chairs at the sound of people talking in the distance. And if you're really lucky, a presentation you can either see or hear but never both.

It really should be put out of its misery. It was sad 15 years ago. Now it's worse.


@KennyR
Thank you your kind words.
As one of the co-founders of AmiWest..

I'm sorry that you find us ready to be put down. (ouch) really?
I want you to know that our little user group endeavor is all voluntary and the little
budget we have is mostly to pay the hotel and it's services (i.e. net access)

WE know that this is not the broadcast quality our many followers want,
But it is what we can afford.
You could, if you wish, bring your knowledge and resources to help,
and make our little show better.

I have a question: will the DevCon notes/slides actually be released to the wider developer community this time?

Every year the same promise is made but the DevCon material never appears. Commodore always made their DevCon materials available to the wider community. Not every developer can afford to fly to the other side of the world and back yearly just to obtain these materials.

Looking at the text, it looks old, the X5000 soon (?), no mention of Tabor.

Are there any people or presentations with: OS3.1.4, Morphos 3.1, Hollywood 7, X5000’s, new AGA games, A4000 lisa or anything else?
Amiga 500, 1200, 4000, Amigaone, Morphos, CyberstormPPC, Blizzardppc, OS4.x

Yes, some of the info requires corrections, but I had to do a quick cut/paste of the most recent page in order to allow enough time to hopefully gather some questions.

Information and scheduling for stage presentations, booth demonstrations (if any) and banquet speaker is always the last information to arrive.
I'm sure it will get mentioned in thie threads, when the info is available.

No questions but as you may know Ben Daglish talented C64 and Amiga composer died the 1st of October.
It would be nice to celebrate the man at the show.

@Bennymee

i don't know about presentations, but among the folks exhibiting at the show, yes, there will be A1222s, X5000s, classics running 3.1.4, at least one person with a powerbook running MOS, and we'll have daniel muessener (who is an amiga game developer), too. you only get a tiny fraction of the fun with the webstream, so if anyone is still on the fence, hop off it and get down to sacramento next week!!

Ah, for the first time there will be Commodore 8-bit machines at the show.  We could play Daglish music off the C64's!
