- It was small, yes, but was very packed when I wen on the Saturday and lots of
- people were around the Amiga Walker asking questions. And apparently, the Walker
- will have an SVGA port and probably a hardware deinterlacer built in (ala A3000).

- Memory was cheap - I picked up a 4Mb. simm for my A4000 for 45 ukp.

- Well Digita were there, selling Wordworth 5 upgrades for 40 ukp and other software.
- Hisoft were there showing off the Surf Squirrel (I think. There were too many
- people gathered around an Amiga running a web browser). The Microniks Infinitiv
- tower was being shown and it seems very well built. Tandem Music were there
- selling their CD.

- Well the people I spoke to were quite friendly, unless you mean all that pushing
- and shoving to get to the front of queues...

-
- There were more people attending than I had expected and there was a steady stream
- of people leaving the show with A1200s in their hands.
