Amiwest 2009

I have a few pictures.

I got to sleep around 4:30 am and Amigadave still had a drive up to Big Bear from Orange!

It was a good time to be had.  I was hoping things would be bigger this year but it was a tad smaller but not by much.  Having Amigakit with new stuff was GREAT!  I got an Indivision ECS! I need a ECS machine for it now!

Last year was SAM madness but this year we did not have a new motherboard to play with BUT it was still great.

MorphOS for MacMini will be good but we did not have enough time before the show to really be ready for a good presentation for it or more MacMinis to show/sell.

Now with MacMini MorphOS and the liberation of Amiga OS.. next year with be AWESOME!

I think the game competition turned out well.

We had:

AOS 4.1 SAM running xmoto
AOS 2.1 A600 running lemmings
AOS 3.9 UAE running wings of fury
AOS 1.3 C-One Minimig Core running stunt car racer
MorphOS 2.4 Efika running Diamonds

Pretty much the complete gambit of Amiga experience. Amigadave ran the event and gave out the prizes for the top players.  Video was taken so I am sure when that is posted we can see the details.  I posted a picture of Robert Bernardo playing Wings of Fury.  I would have liked to see a few more people playing but I think there was a talk on Python for OS4 that also happened at on or near the same time. Next year Amigadave wants to do a little more work on setting the game competition and annouce the games earlier and signup people better.  This year was a big ad hoc BUT it worked and it was fun! Moving the show to a new room in the middle did not help either!

There was a practice time.  You could have praticed Wings of Fury.  I think we all know the real reason you got such a low score!
