"Letting the World Know"

Sure the Cebit is bigger than the Aachen-show, but is it more
important for potential A1-costumers ? I have my doubts.

Amigians from germany will go to Aachen, because it is the only
Amiga-related show in Germany this year.

Ex-Amigians interested in "retro" will go to Aachen.

M$/x86-haters will go to Aachen as they don't care about names.

All these people will the see a working Amiga-like system.

The Cebit is:
5 months away.
Very expensive, and I doubt that AInc has enough money for their
own stand.

They might get a small stand on the M$ one, but I doubt the will
be allowed to show anything else than their DE-stuff.

The typical Cebit-audience is not interested in something that
is just an odd geek-computer with next to no new SW.

Ah I see you have never been to a CeBit...

There will be thousand of booths, so everybody is forced to think
on what he wants to see before he goes.

There will be thousand of new products, and all the papers will be
cramped with it. No space for the sidenote of an 80's computer
reapearing.

The market for A1/OS4 are existing users, and those who left in
the last 5 years, and those will be easier to target in Aachen.

But I think your are right:
AInc/Hyperion have nothing to show by Aachen, and they know it.
