Benelux Picture Report

Why is a hotel called 'Westin' on the 2nd pic :-?.

@ Odin

LOL, you have to click the images to read the actual report. The Westin is located next to the BAS and that's where I stayed in between the two BAS days.

@ Warface

IMO when support for an alternative computer platform results so easily in anger over such insignificant things there's something seriously wrong... Don't you agree?

Great pics! Just one note though:

-The event was NOT solely advertised on the internet. Two weeks before the show, the Computer City catalog was sent to over 700 active Amiga users in the Benelux, every order sent from CC the last 2 months had a flyer in it, which was also given to all CC customers in the shop. Also, the show's webmaster sent press-releases to all major newspapers, magazines, etc. Don't think any published it though... Unfortunately also the HCC didn't even write anything about the show, and they were exhibiting!

When you have to draw incomplete pictures in order to maintain the impression of a deformed reality, then there is something sick, I agree.

@ Palpatine

OK I will change this. One of CC's girls provided some inaccurate information then.

Jeeezz. If I  would have went to Bremen I would also have written about my personal experiences with regard to the AmigaOS4 demonstrations there. And thus not about the Ataris, Macs and PCs which I did not bother with. I went to the BAS to experience the latest developments with regard to the status of AmigaOS4 for myself. Just like is stated on the overview page.

If some people part of the Peg/MOS user community (and staff) would have been less extreme in the past, I would probably have been more interested in Genesi's products. But I decided not to bother anymore due to this behaviour.

Man, the nonsense I had to go through for saying that MorphOS was promising but still needed alot of work (at the time the OS crashed every few minutes) is something I rather forget.

The Amiga platform is an enthusiastic hobby project for me and so it has to be fun or else I would rather just toss my Amigas into the trash bin. IMO the destructive behaviour of the community's extremists is what kills the (ex-)Amiga community the quickest. Who wants to be parts of a group of whining angry or paranoid losers?

Like those who got the same nonsense from you on ANN lately, I presume. How very fond of you to act as an innocent victim.

Mind you, I haven't attacked you, you are free to have a view and an opinion, I just asked for the correction of the title as it was misleading. Your report had (intentionally) nothing to do with the Benelux Pegasos Show.

Come on now, all I did was asking who a certain person was and if anyone knew this person. This is pretty standard information when dealing with any such reports.

Most people know that there have been many hoaxes or otherwise intentionally false information being spread on forums like ANN. Without a source there isn't any creditability with regard to any report.

AmigaWorld has used ANN as a news source (moderated as news) before and it turned out to be a hoax. We don't like to make the same mistake twice.

I just asked for the correction of the title as it was misleading.

Thus nothing to be angry about. I am not paid by you or anyone else to provide this report and I believe neither is Kees.

Yes, I publicly promised some extremists not to review or cover MOS anymore (whenever I can) so that they would leave me alone.
