This was the second one I attended and again running Steel Battalion. If you have facebook take a look at these links!

The museum that was there was heavy game systems as you would expect but showed several Atari and Commodore 64/128s... and one A1200. There wasn't even a sing of explanation next to it.
In the gian game room they again had all types of old school computers, game systems and arcade cabinets setup for free play. The sole A500 in there sat at the insert disk screen.
Very very sad.
I know we have our own Convention for the west cost and don't really think we'd need a massive presence at CGE, but really?
I think where we really miss out is in the panels. I got to meet several of the original Activision crew and even shook hands with Gary Kitchen!!! Many of the things they talk about directly cross into the Amiga world but there was no one that I knew other then me there to appreciate it.
SO! I got promoted for next year's CGE and will be one of the head honchos. When we find out where it is taking place, usually in Las Vegas, who want's to know about it and who want's to help make a strong presence there?
