Howdy. Well, there is a bunch of students here at University of Michigan trying to see what we can do to get the Amiga into UM. We are going to have several machines on display in the Michigan Union for several hours. I would like to compile a list of excellent demos that we can show to people. I would like things such as: -animations -screen hacks -pictures -music/sound -applications -special applications of appeal to various educational fields (Maple for math, Distant Suns for astronomy, etc.) -??? We am completely open to suggestions, as we want to make the best presentation possible. I'd like to show things such as Maple, but I cannot afford it 8-( Anybody got a loaner? If you feel you have anything that would help out the Amiga and our cause, please contact me (via email). I would appreciate it if I could obtain this via anon ftp since we are going to do this on the 20th. I'd also like to hear about anybody else doing a similar thing at their institutions (educational or otherwise 8-). Thanks, Ralph PS- Wouldn't it be a good idea to bunch together this sort of thing on an anon ftp site for future use?

IF I were looking for demos to blow people away, look at two places: The
BADGE Killer Demo Contest (When's the '90 BADGE?), and the Walker series.
You can find these on Fish, for the BADGE stuff, and Walker is somewhere
in /amiga/demos on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov. Also get the DemoReel Series,
as they always blow people away. Wish the ULowell was out. (Boy, would I
like to see that puppy hooked up to a 20" NEC MultiSync 5D!)
