Ok it's confirmed, I'll be at Amiwest! How about you?
« on: May 15, 2003, 06:26:15 PM »
Just mailed out a check for the tickets and banquet. I'll be reserving hotel and plane tickets in a minute or 2:-) Believe it or not this will be my first Amiga show. There have never been any in this part of the country, so I finally decided I will fly all the way to the left coast to see one. What the hell? Things are exciting now with alot of things happening on the alternative platform and the possibility that the official platform may be finished this year. Should be interesting!

I'll be there and I'm bringing an ex-Amigan friend(since the wife won't go). So are YOU going to be there? If I can fly from Florida to California what is YOUR excuse if you're not? :-?

Melissa and I will be there.  Most of the "Huntsville Mafia" will be there.  That makes...  a few anyway.  Digital and video cameras abound.

If Tigger and I could figure out how to broadcast via his Video setup (Toaster PC/etc) we certainly would be doing that.  The trouble is getting bandwidth.

That's great! And you're going to be THE guest speaker at the banquet right?  :-D

I don't want to discourage anyone from attending the banquet, but I (and my crew) will only go to the banquet if the guest speaker is someone aside from Bill McEwen or "Fleecy" Moss.

With all due respect honestly intended, I believe I've heard about enough out of those two...  

That being said, I would LOVE and pay for the banquet if they allowed time to both McEwen and Bill Buck to make presentations.  It would be interesting I think to see the two in contrast.  The chances of that happening however are slim to none at best.

You know me, I am ALWAYS willing to talk about stuff, but it's honestly the first I've heard of it. :-)

I'd be more intersted in a "debate" between  McEwen and Bill Buck, let them tell/discuss the stories about their companies and the FUD between them.. Afterall, we never hear from them at the same time.

Anyway, let's just give us a nice big show report afterwards.. :-D

So, one step in your search for the "truth" in this mess is to stop listen to one of the sides? Sounds more like a "blind follower"-thing to me....

This is a comment that you sir (or madam) are not qualified to make whatsoever.

I and my friends have paid on average, about $90.00 per year, every single year since 1997 to hear Amiga Inc speak.  I have personally heard Bill McEwen speak on at least 6 occassions at shows over the last few years.  Out of all those shows, and all those speeches, not a single solitary thing that we have ever been told has come true with the exception of the (now) presence of the AmigaOne motherboard (which incidentally was promised to initially available in 2001).

As such, in my eyes, I simply see absolutely no reason for me personally to spend another dime to watch the "magic show".  Like a child who has seen the circus one too many times, watching the clowns get in and out of the tiny car loses it's fascination.

As I said however, I'd be more than enthusiastic to see the AmiWest crew allow both of them a bit of time to make their case, on the same stage.

I know many evil people who'd pay good money to watch the awkward moment when the two Bills bump into each other :-)
