Wait a minute… weren't you guys at the end of an isle? Your company name stood out, and I remember thinking "I wonder if that's…nah." Oh, well. If that was your booth, I blew my chance to see HAM-E. ARRGGGG! BTW… I saw a graphics demo at the HamVention that used "similar" graphics as some of the demos on the Amiga, and the first screen of the slide-show said "THIS IS NOT AN AMIGA SCREEN…". Wow! what notoriety! No matter what the PC people say, when they start saying "Its almost as good as an Amiga", they are admitting that the Amiga's graphics/animation combo are a standard to beat.

Yeah, I heard about that "THis is not an Amiga" message. It made me laugh then, and I kind of grinned when I saw it here, too. ;^) See? As for that being us – yes, we were at the end of the isle, and we did have the HAM-E running with real images and with the color triangles, too… By the way, since the message has long since scrolled off of here, in DL6 of AmigaVendor there is a color triangle that serves as a perfect example to demonstrate what the HAM-E does for video images on the Amiga. Anyone who downloads it should immediately get the point. We also showed some 256 grey-level images on the HAM-E, some CAT-scans and a chest X-Ray. Unfortueately, I forgot to bring any 256 level FAX images, which would have been best for that audience. Oh well – We'll be more organized at the Chicago AmiExpo.
