Acill...cool, you driving in from San Diego????

That'll make at least 2 of us with Pegasos 2 in attendance and
generally showing off.

Of course, I have the home advantage because I live in Sactown :D

Steve :-D

The primary reason for that, is the club is first and foremost an 'Amiga club'. It has nothing to do with bigotry just lack of information on Pegasos and Morphos.

I did a presentation to the club last year, got strong interest.

People would have bought Pegasos systems at Amiwest 2003 but none were available. Genesi had 8(?) employees at that show...still Amiga folks did a far better presentation of the operating system than Genesi did even though they had very little to show. For what it's worth...no one could buy an A1 with AmigaOS at the show either!

I will (hopefully) present the Peg II to the club this year before Amiwest.

Acill and I will put on a good showing of Peg II and MorphOS at Amiwest this year!

Oh...and I forgot. I guess my depature from the 'Amiga scene' really didn't last long..blame magnetic and Genesi plus an offer I couldn't resist!

Mapquest say <6hrs. I say plan for 6.5 to 8.5 depending on traffic
(Friday commute sucks!) ...oh and it's straight up the five once
you've done all that downtown/crosstown LA BS!

Depending on time of day you might hit 30/40mins of crosstown traffic
at I5/I80 interchange..homeward bound Friday commute etc.

Get >1 of you going and you've done it in about 3 tanks of gas ($95?
$100?) plus a weekend rental..$150?) for a grand total of $250/number
of Amiganuts

That's about the cost of a flight from Burbank to Sac, round trip for
one person!

PLus there's the roadtrip fun...burger joints etc.
