thx lazi! this was a great meeting (as usual)! we had 10+ viewers most of the time, anyone from here?:) a short report: there were 2 os4 machine (a peg2 and a uA1 i guess), an a1200, an a4000 which been used in the Gamecompo (Speedball 2 and Brutal Sports Football), several PowerMacs (in fact they dominated the place:), incl. my MDD 1.25Ghz hooked up to a FullHD display and Chain's Quicksilver with a dual G4 card overclocked to 1.8Ghz. There was a c128 with GEOS on screen and later a real PET has arrived (and stealed the show for a while, ppl started to program it right away:). Also there was a CD32 with neongod's own custom CD32 Workbench distro running a fully featured and heavily optimized MagicWb Workbench loaded with utilities and even some whdload games and can be controlled 100% with the joypad and even has OnScreenKeyboard (2 OSK actually:). I've known this but seen it in live for the first time and i have to admit that is really impressive work with clearly a lot of time involved to develop it. A must have for any CD32 owner:) There was a short and brief presentation about MorphOS and new developments/directions, an Amiga Quiz, the afromentioned Gamecompo, lot of pizzas, around 20-30 ppl and a suprise from Chain to all visitors in the form of a free, printed, "Offical" MorphOS 2.6 cd in a dvd case (gfx by tokai). Even a real oldtimer has showed up, Bear, who was the main editor of the late (Amiga)GURU magazin (last until 1996), who seems still cares about the old lady and her successors. Then i had to leave earlier but im sure there were even more things after i left. Bottom line: it was a great event, thx for everyone involved! See you next time (hopefully with some foreign guests as well - for the 1st time:)
