- You obviously didn't look at the other side of the AT stand. They had 1
- Walker up and running, and another in a glass case. There was also a couple
- of A1241 Q- Drives there (quad speed CD-ROM for the A1200). Also being used
- were A1764 17" monitors, which looked good (As I understand the A1764 syncs
- from 15 kHz to 64kHz !)

- Overall I thought WOA was very enjoyable. One of the A1200s on show was
- running a "welcome to Amiga" demo that showed off the various features of
- WB. According to the German guy I spoke to, this had been put together for
- in-shop demos. Whilst it was spectacular it is a least better than having
- A1200s in shops showing the purple boot screen.
-
- I also saw MindWalker on the CU stand (Hi Matt !) and it seems AWeb and
- IBrowse will soon be facing some stiff competition.
-
- Finally, A word of warning : Don't wear a black T-Shirt (especially one
- with DISA on the back ;-) and stand around the AT stand at future
- shows...people will think you're an employee or something <grin>
