did anyone make the show? looks like a terrific gathering. there's some great photos posted over on a1k.org (link); a news article from cgutjahr on amiga-news.de (link); and members are discussing the new board and accelerators coming from individual computers here.

if anyone has any reports from the show or photos, please share them in this thread for those us who were unable to attend. thanks! :)

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here."

the organizers have posted a terrific and expansive set of photographs of the show on facebook. you can view the album here -- and you don't need to be a facebook member to see them.

What means /20 /40?
the X5000/20 is based on a freescale P5020 processor. the X5000/40 is based on the P5040.

I think it could have really done with 2 days to get to see everything properly and chat to everyone you wanted to and room for a couple more presentations.  It would have been good to hear Petro's perspective on the Escom and Gateway eras.
i wonder if he'll attend the one in peterborough. i know the organizers invited him, but not sure if he'll be there. it would indeed have been interesting to hear about the early post-commodore days.

Yes you are right, many real amigas from users in the meeting, but aeon/amigakit are one of the main organizers.
no -- they did not organize the event. they were, however, one of many sponsors.
