Quote:

Classic clinic (diagnostics/repair): Quote:
The Classic Clinic was very popular at AmiWest 2009, so we're bringing it back for AmiWest 2010. It will be held on Friday 22 October 2010: 5 PM 'til whenever we're done.
We will have at least three technicians to diagnose and repair any difficulties with "classic Amiga" (i.e., Commodore/Escom/Amiga Technologies) hardware. Bring your classic machines and enjoy free food (while it lasts) and great camaraderie.

Here is our AmiWest 2010 seminar schedule.
This year, our video stream to the internet, including these seminars, is being recorded for future reference. If successful, we hope to publish this in DVD format for an as-yet-to-be-determined contribution to AmiWest. Our expert presenters in past years have had more than enough to fill all available time so we are scheduling fewer seminars with larger time slots.
Things are always subject to change, but here is what we have so far.
Saturday, October 23, 2010
11 AM - A-EON and the X1000
Lunch
1 PM - Carl Sassenrath and REBOL R3 for OS4.

"This seminar will explore the latest AmigaOS API in the areas where things have changed from the pre-4.x days. I also plan to show some of the latest Amiga API changes and how you can save time by using these new APIs."
4 PM - Steven continued, SAM 460ex
5 PM - Show floor closes for banquet preparations.

@thread In an effort to bring the show a bit closer to those who can not attend, we will attempt to bring user questions to the presenters, exhibitors, and q/a participants. Please remember that in addition to the OS4 presence at the show we also have Dave representing MorphOS, Jens and technicians for classic, Carl, etc. So, hopefully we'll receive a well rounded set of questions. Please read the details and post here.I am in the process of getting someone on the show floor to handle this independently. #6

Cool ! *ahem* Are you saying the one in the uk that the whole entire amigans.net put in 3 days of effort to hold the event at bletchly park was not good enough? o_O?! Or organized!! If only you knew how hard it is to organize something as big as bletchly. Even miggyman slept in the marquee for 3 days, to protect the equipment!

@magic For me show without broadcasting - bad organized. It can be very cool show (like you point on some uk show), but while there is no broadcasting for everyone - then it's bad organized. Today making broadcasting not big deal, and pretty cheap, its just about thinking about other ppls.
Amiga show rarely do broadcasting, good that this one are exception. And because of it thanks to orgoz, who organize it.

Quote: For me show without broadcasting - bad organized. O.k, I would really like to point out getting a wifi connection in a marquee was extreemly difficult in the first place at bletchly. It took us ages to get a connection at all. I am not affraid to say this, I hate it when people moan that something is not quite right about something or its badly organized. Id like to see you try and organize an event as big as bletchly - we had hundreds of people over the 3 days and that is something I am very proud of AmigaNorth Thames for organizing the event.
