A big feature this year is that this will be a 2 day event (instead of the previous 1 day) - more time for wandering among the displays and seeing the presentations.

One of the presentations will feature the Vampire II board on the Amiga 600.

See  http://www.tpug.ca/world-of-commodore-16/presentations/  for a list of all the presentations (with more to come).

Thanks to eliyahu for posting more information to my original post. I still don't know if I will attend this one but I did see that my good friend Syd Bolton will be there presenting. The last Amiga show of any kind that I attended was International Amiga in '98.

P.S. Hey Gertsy!! How's that DKB MegaChip doing? Hopefully still working well. :)
And Amigoat... I sold you a black Amiga mouse, right?
