There are exactly 3 reason for a ballon to go up:

1) hot air

2) expensive gas that makes your voice go qiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeek

3) cheap gas that likes to go BOOOM in a big way

Metaphors need to be choosen wisely ;)

Off topic, but the title of this totally reminds me of the exchange between Reggie Perrin and his paranoid ex-army brother-in-law Jimmy:

Quote

Reggie: So come on, Jimmy, who are you going to fight when this balloon of yours goes up?

Jimmy: Forces of anarchy: wreckers of law and order. Communists, Maoists, Trotskyists, neo-Trotskyists, crypto-Trotskyists, union leaders, Communist union leaders, atheists, agnostics, long-haired weirdos, short-haired weirdos, vandals, hooligans, football supporters, namby-pamby probation officers, rapists, papists, papist rapists, foreign surgeons (headshrinkers, who ought to be locked up), Wedgwood Benn, keg bitter, punk rock, glue-sniffers, Play For Today, squatters, Clive Jenkins, Roy Jenkins, Up Jenkins, up everybody's, Chinese restaurants - why do you think Windsor Castle is ringed with Chinese restaurants?

Reggie: You realise the sort of people you're going to attract, don't you Jimmy? Thugs, bully-boys, psychopaths, sacked policemen, security guards, sacked security guards, racialists, Paki-bashers, queer-bashers, Chink-bashers, anybody-bashers, Rear Admirals, queer Admirals, Vice-Admirals, fascists, neo-fascists, crypto-fascists, loyalists, neo-loyalists, crypto-loyalists.

Jimmy: Do you really think so? I thought support might be difficult.

So will there be any real Amigas at this venue, or is this just going to be an advertising blitz for OS4 and related products?
