Sounds like Fleecy's simply going to show up to me.

Yes, it does sound like that Wayne.. however it's still good to see. A lot of people there will not believe that the Amiga is still 'active' or even know about DE etc..
I went to ComDex/Atlanta last week (fabulous, huge computer show).  That does not suggest that Amiga.org was represented at Comdex.  

The fact that a user group might have space, or Fleecy might take time out of his "sheep buggering" (his quote) schedule to attend a computer show does not denote an official "presence".  Amiga Inc  

- has nothing to promote,
- they have nothing to sell,
- the Amiga community at large will not be there en masse as they are for an official Amiga show

so I would hope Amiga Inc would NOT spend their very precious (and rare) money to "be there".

@bhoggett,

Thanks very much for the clarification.  That's cool and all.  Didn't mean to suggest otherwise.  

If they had ANY common sense (which is sincerely in doubt), Fleecy'd take a bunch of Entertainment packs and try to sell them to the much wider audience in attendance.  It doesn't take a booth and incredible expense to hang out with you guys and hawk wares at a computer show.  Hell, if nothing else, they could quickly create and give away a demo CD with a time limited player and game demos.  Hell, even professional color flyers handed out to passers-by would help.

Wayne

Demonstrating the same Amiga Anywhere content running on O2 XDAs, Sendo smartphones, Zaurus PDAs and Fleecy's laptop would surely impress many people, if well presented.
