@red
I just got back from the show...I'm sorry we
didn't get a chance to meet!
@all
My overall impression of today...
The show was interesting, perhaps not as crowded
as I would have expected, but nontheless there
was a steady stream in circulation during the
time I was present.
Originally, I intended to try both OS4 and
MorphOS, but unfortunately the OS4 booth did
not seem to have any terminals available for
public use. The demonstrations from both Hermans
and the other fellow (can't recall his name, but
he is a CS prof. at a local uni) looked
promising; there were considerable
improvements to the GUI operations and
customization from 3.5/9. Also the "Mt. Ranier"
CD support and TCP/IP seems a nice added
benefit. My verdict...'IF" the OS becomes
available for the Peg I will buy it. Hyperion
does seem to be putting extreme efforts into
releasing a quality product.
Trying MorphOS for the first time, it was indeed
very responsive, and had quite a polished feel
about it in regard to overall appearance and
general OS operation (scrolling, opening progs.
etc). The G4 equipped Peg's were in action, as
well as the Superbundle. In my sleepy fog I did
not for some reason ask for details about the
Superbundle/MorphOS 1.4...but I was very glad to
hear that the Peg2 is still on schedule for
September...and...did I mention...the G4 card is
a work of art? Genesi had the biggest consistant
crowd at the show, by far. Targhan, Damien
and Nate are *very* (cannot stress this enough!)
nice people and represent the company well...
BB and RV also are friendly and professional
in person. There were many other polite people
present as well.
I also had the great experience of meeting
Wayne and others from the Huntsville group,
and must say that speaking with them turned
out to be the highlight of the show. There
is a definate quality about the character of
these individuals that is sorely lacking in
today's world.
