Hi,
I arrived a little late, Alan Redhouse was giving a presentation at that point, but the room was packed and I couldn't get a look in :-) So whilst that was going on, I had a wander and saw what was going on with the machines on display.

What else was demo'd with OS4?
As for software, I saw photogenics (v4 I think) running nicely under emulation and various system tools and so on working away.
Some people just wanted to mess about with the preferences to see how garish they can make the GUI look. And indeed you can make it very garish :lol: However, the basic theme looks very nice and clean.
I bumped into one feller who wasn't an amigan, but clearly a linux/other-alternative-os fan.
It was pretty funny, I asked what his background was (after he announced he wasn't actually an amiga user) and he took it all the wrong way explaining his considerable computing / mathematical qualifications as his hackles rose...
Then I said 'er, I mean't which platform?'
After he realised I wasn't attepmting to insult him, we had an interesting chat :-) He was quite heavily into the notion of a static 680x0 to PPC binary converter, ie translate once. That wandered off onto a strange meandering debate as to the (un)feasability of it...
