I was sitting (well standing actually) in the L.A. Airport Hilton theatre during =RJ='s lecture on the Amiga when he was told by a personage in the audience that "The Sidecar had Passed the FCC" testing. This was the first =RJ= had heard about it. Everyone else too, apparently. Mention was also made later at a dinner in a nearby restaurant that Sidecar is now available "on the streets" (I guess meaning in retail outlets) in England. I saw ONE sidecar at the WCCA show… it was in KJ Computer's booth, and was not operational either day. =RJ= said there'd be a working example at the show on Sunday, the 2nd/closing day of the show, but if there was it must've been only for "special" folk, cuz I sure didn't see one working anywhere!
