Last year's Amiwest was the first time I ever met or saw anyone else who ever bought an Amiga.  It was shocking to see other Amigans.   I will go again this year.

Its been quite some time since I've met anyone into Amiga as well. I need to try to make it up to the show this year if I have some time off. I have a sister that lives there so I can make it a two for one trip maybe.

I need commitments:-D

Actually it would be nice if some non-drinkers would go too. Last year everyone ran off to get bombed, and only CE and I were left drinking coffee. Are there any nondrinkers going :-?

Last year during that show I sat at home the whole day listening to the live audio broadcast and chatting on IRC. It was great audio quality and it almost felt like being there! :-) There also was a live video stream for a select few. Speaking of that, I remember that there was an informal survey about how many of those people that listened to the audio stream had fast broad band connections and were interested in video streams, and I recall that a hunch of a promise was made (I am almost certain about this ;-)) that the next year (this year), a live video stream would be available to a more general public! :-)
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Neat.  Never been to an Amiga show.  This would be my first, and since I live about 50 miles from Sac, I'll have to be going to it.   :-D   So if commitments are what you need redrumloa, I'll be there and I most likely wont drink so save a coffee for me.

Now that's what I like to hear:-) If I get some more commitments, maybe I'll get some catering at the booth. Um.. If we do get a booth, which I think we probably will. AmiJava!! :-D

Likely because no East Coast user groups have organized such a beast... Now that there are several of us, we'll see how long it takes before it actually happens.   ;-)

Hey, a grand total of 3 sips of rum slipped my lips the whole show.

I don't drink as a rule, and frankly... don't need to.  More fun to watch the other drunks.

Hi all,
I've never been to a show either, Hmm, I wonder if I have any vacation days?
600 mile drive, no problem. You may see me there. Sounds like fun.
OS4 might be close to done by then.

;-) I may attend again, if I can afford the trip.  I need to talk to Mr. Hardware about the manual for the TBC he sold me.  He hasn't been responding to e-mails.
