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.


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

LOL Bill Mc would shrill like a girl and Bill B would fight dirty and kick him in the groin? I'd pay to see that too. Or maybe it would just be a cat fight like two broads going at it?

The above is just a joke, well except the part where I say I'd pay to see it;-)

In all seriousness I will be bringing cash in hand to purchase the the Pegasos G4 upgrade and other goodies to compliment my Peggy. It's nice to have a shipped product in hand that works FAAAST.

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? :-?


I refuse to fly as long as I am treated as a criminal for wanting to get on an airplane.

Um, there won't be anything to see there?

There isn't a new Amiga or Amiga OS, there won't be a new Amiga nor Amiga OS at the show...

Really, why go?  I remember going to WoC - literally thousands of attendees.  I just can't bring myself to go to what amounts to a retro-computing flea market these days.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

If Linux running on the AmigaOne doesn't float your boat, what's wrong with going to see MOS on Pegasos? You may actually like it!  :-?

Perhaps there may be a more recent beta of OS4 running at Amiwest on the A4K or perhaps with any given luck, running on the AmigaOne.

I guess time will tell and Amiwest is still alittle while of yet but it be nice if Hyperion do get something together for this show.
I know you can only make a first impression once though.

And for those of us who can't attend the show, i do hope Bill "Tekmage" Borsari does his usual Webcam and audio streaming from the show, always a hoot :-)

I'll be glued to the broadcast as I have been every year.  It's almost a ritual for me :-)  Dispite living on the wrong side of the ocean I've always enjoyed the US amiga shows!!!

Thanks Bill for providing the excellent service :-D

Yeah they have been quite alot of fun over the past few years, Tekmage has lined up some entertaining guest speakers, and there is never a shortage of laughs :-)
Its a close as some of us will get for the bigger u.s shows and the streaming helps a great deal.

Here's to another good year i hope, Cheers Tek

So any proves yet?
 I honestly would like to know the truth after all that happened. Thanks to Wayne if he is still  investigating that.  Would  you transparently share the information you get with us, wether it favours one side OR the other?

So is McEwen going to be there? no doubt giving the people (believers) one of those long ass speeches what leads to nothing like always.

Someone ask him proper direct questions (yes proper questions, non of that suck up to Fleecy Q&L)

MOS does nothing for me, sorry.

ALthough I just thought of a great reason to go - I could go with a fist-full of custom tee-shirts and when Q&A time came up wave them at McEwen and ask him how friggin' hard it can be to get teeshirts printed up if I had these that were just done the day before.

well redrumloa
Ill take a fully working OS anyday
MorphOS looks pretty on the surface but not much of anything under the hood.
No matter what you guy's say I played with one the other day.  Might be a nice system if ever finished. PS how bout making Peg one run first before waiting for II.

PS I am typing this message out on my NEW AmigaONE XEG4
My AoneSE is running SUSE, The New AoneXE is running Debian great set of instructions and install disk was up and running in under a hour from start to finish
I am gonna get me the full set. AoneSE,AoneXE,AoneDual........

If You Peg boy's weren't Such@$#%. I would be buying them too.
No matter how much #### you talk About Amiga INC and what crooks they are they stand head and shoulders above the scum formerly known as Visicorp/Genesi/Thendic,Ect al.....
 
Tell me how many people here are running on thier new Peg boards.
How many were up and online within an hour of unwraping thier new boards.

like I expect an honest answer from you boy's LOL!!
