- In August, in Montreal, the third 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 the first 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 '95 (AC 95) 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!
