Any Amigaphiles from BC (Canadian west coast) out there? A local Amiga owner
will be in Vancouver next week, and is looking for pointers to places of
Amiga interest. The Amiga Studio Theatre at Expo I've told him about, how
about dealers/users groups/enthusiastic owners? A location to pick up the
latest in Fish & Amicus disks would also be appreciated.
As a side note, I'm glad to see some really good Amiga-ized programs coming
out. The Pawn showed up yesterday (SUPERB graphics, nice music) and
Chessmaster 2000 last week, which I will try to get a good look at tomorrow.
Also Leather Goddesses of Phobos from Infocom, anyone know if Trinity is
released for the Amiga?

They meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month at the BC Institute of Technology on Willingdon in Burnaby. I dropped in on their September meeting and they seem a knowledgable and friendly bunch. There are a number of stores in the area that seem keen on the Amiga -- Conti Computers on Broadway was where I got my information (I disclaim any commercial intent here...!) --; I didn't find the Fish Disks there, but they did have a large public domain collection, including some locally developed stuff.
