Why is so exciting amiwest?
dunno, but it is. tens of amigans hanging out, people running around with MOS and AROS on laptops, every single commodore model produced to play with, non-stop repairs on classic kit that's brought in, presentations on amiga hardware or software, and just a really nice vibe. it's a lot of fun. it's hard to explain, but folks return year after year, from as far afield as australia, japan, europe, and elsewhere.
it's a shame cross-atlantic airfare is so expensive. i bet you'd have a blast if you came. luckily there are more events like this in europe. for us 'muricans, this is the last big annual amiga show in north america.
