Does anyone know if Commodore has a booth at this year's Educom show which will be held this Oct. in Atlanta? I hear that Apple is really going to try to push the Mac Classic at the show so it would be nice if there were a few Amigas around to compare it to. -- Pete Babic - pab@po.cwru.edu | I'm not totally useless - Integrated Library Systems | I can always serve as Case Western Reserve University | a bad example!

This month's Amazing Computing has an article about Atlanta's demo used to get the 1996 Olympics. The demo was done by a Mike Sinclair from Georgia Tech, with lots of help from the folks at Blue Ribbon Bakery. It seems Mr. Sinclair did one demo on the Mac, but found he couldn't do what he wanted to on a Mac. The article describes the creation of the final demo. It sounds like it was a major undertaking. Blue Ribbon Bakery is releasing some new products that were developed during their involvment with the creation of the demo. -- Jerry Thompson | // checks ___________ | "I'm into S&M, "What I want to know is, have | \\ // and | | | | Sarcasm and you ever seen Claude Rains?" | \X/ balances /_\ | /_\ | Mass Sarcasm."

"Amiga - Computers for the Olympic Mind" "Amiga - Winner of the 1996 Olympics" A case story of Mike Sinclair developing the demos in an ad. If we could secure the animations to be done during and FOR the 1996 Olympics, the publicity would be invaluble. So what will it be CBM??? Will we drop the ball on this one?? Or will Mr. Copperman form a team to secure as much of the Olympics grpahics as possible. (Sounds like a good way to get marketing off of its ___) A runner carrying a torch up to steps to light the Olympic flame, sounds like a job for Animation Journeyman. A spinning textured Olympic logo zoooming up from a map of Georgia, Toaster and Lightwave 3D territory. (If someone would ship me a fast Amiga with the above SW/HW I will design the above GRATIS and ship it all back ) Commodore, pleeeeaseeeeee don't drop the ball on this one. >Jerry Thompson | // checks ___________ | "I'm into S&M, -- adam hill Everybody lies about sex. hill@evax.arl.utexas.edu BOING!4Ever Rub HER feet!

They are very excited about it. This means that they get to assign booths, etc. According to the rep I spoke to, Commodore has a booth 3 times the size of IBM or Apple.

NONE of the above is true...(Who did you talk to??) The facts are: what you are referring to is NECC which is sort of, the K-12 version of Educom... and we are NOT hosting it,(vendors don't host those shows..) tho we do have the biggest booth (though NOT 3 times Apple's and IBM's...) AND are probably doing the opening key note. The only thing you were right about, is that we are excited about it. >Looking forward to that one.
