- Of course, he conveniently failed to mention that the AmiExpo shows were often
- scheduled in tandem with the WOC exhibits (forcing developers to make a
- decision as to which show to commit themselves to), the fact that CBM had
- adamantly encouraged both promoters to combine their efforts (and make
- the shows more comprehensive) and most importantly, that two major firms
- promoting Amiga-specific shows is one too many. This is situation is also
- apparent in the PC and Mac communities.
