I'll definately be at the show this week, starting Thursday night. I'm scheduled to be at the Commodore booth's "DeskTop Publishing" area, which will feature C64 GEOS, some PC junk, and apparently some Amiga desktop publishing (not mere wordprocessing). Some other words to look for in association with the Amiga there are "DeskTop Video", "GenLock", "Midi", "Deluxe Music", "SideCar", and maybe a few surprises, though the big surprises will be later this year. Anyway, I'll definately be at the booth from 6:30 to 9:00. Oh, wait, its not a "booth", its a POD. Like in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", I guess. Anyway, I think its very important that everyone get together and drink somewhere, though since I know absolutely nothing about Toronto, I guess something will be made up once we all arrive. Anyone stopping by DeskTop Publishing should look for me, I'm about 6'1" tall, long brown hair, dazed experssion, and I'll probably be talking about everything but DeskTop Publishing (or maybe that too) if this show is like any others I've been to. See ya'll there! -Hazy

Hazy, SOunds like fun — I'm definitely planning to go, but WHERE exactly is the show being held? I want to make some reservations immediately. I'll probably just be going for Saturday-Sunday, but I'll try to find you if you'll still be there. Shall we all try to arrange a get- together for Saturday night? I'd really like t meet y'all. By the way, is this conference/show structured in any way? If so, I'd like to know the schedule for Saturday and Sunday. Thanks! >>>>> Brent

Thanks, Alex, now where can I get a Toronto Star in Detroit? 🙂 I'm really planning to attend, now. I just got back from a Users' Group meeting where both Genlock and Sidecar were demoed. Everything looks great. I was EXTREMELY impressed with Genlock. What a fantastic tool! I was impressed with everything about Sidecar EXCEPT the impression that it can not be used with any other expansion units (i.e. we tried with the C Ltd. RAM expansion, and it didn't work — boo hoo). If it comes down to extra RAM or IBM compatibility, I'll take the RAM any day! >>>>> Brent
