Here's a report from the front lines:

	Commodore-Amiga presented a booth at the recently concluded Siggraph
convention held August 18-22 in Dallas, Texas.  I was there.

	Attending the booth as sub-exhibitors were A2 systems (framegrabber)
NewTech (Digi-View), Byte-by-Byte (Expansion box with hard disk and slots
plus expansion memory), CSA (68020 and 68881 expansion external box with
5 slots and hard disk), Octree Software (Caligari 3-d modelling package),
Aegis (Animator, Draw), Microbotics (hard disk), Electronic Arts (Dan Silva
brought the latest "beta" copy of DPaint II, WOW!!!), Terrapin Software
(InfoMinder), Genlock (Hardware), New Xerox Color Printers ( clean and neat ),
and a RayTracing Demo for the Amiga written by yours truly, amiga!bart...

	Most often overheard question: when can I buy a SideCar ???

	This posting is meant as a brief encouragement to all of you out there who
have supported the machine during this first year... the machine was taken
seriously enough to get feelers from a "professional" Hollywood graphics
software company about porting their code to a future rev of the Amiga.
