-
- In August, in Montreal, the fourth annual Amiga Convention
- will take place! This convention will gather the Amiga community
- together from all across the world to show its support for the
- Amiga! We hope to make this show an event in the long fight to
- make the Amiga a well known computer in North America again.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- WHY: We are putting on the Amiga Convention '96 (AC 96) to
- support our favorite computer, the Amiga! We feel that
- for too long, the Amiga has been ignored, and now that
- the Amiga is owned by people who actually will support
- it well, we want to help them out in any way we can.
- We also want to get a lot of people together to have a
- really cool time!

- and are influenced by how big a
- prescence you have at the show.
-
- WHY PEOPLE SHOULD COME: AC'96 will have stands from many
