Ir've been thinking about this for a while myself...  How many people
on the net plan on going to AmiExpo?  Would a get together be OK?
I couldn't make it to the DevCon but Chicago's just a 6 hour drive
away.  

Marco, how would you like to organize another one? ;^) 

PS - Marco, about 2 months ago, you emailed me that A-talk III was due
RSN.  Where is it!?!  In spite of all the talk on the net about
these other terminal programs, I'm still holding out waiting for
yours!

Sorry, but I won't be at AmiExpo. As Felsina Software we are out of the
"publishing" business.  We are just "developers" now (no more shrink-wrapping,
filling out COD forms, rushing to UPS, etc...:-).  A-Talk III (not II as
in the AmigaWorld article) will be published by OXXI.  The weather-satellite
program will be marketed by another company (which I can't say since we
are still negotiating).  One "nice" thing about being just a developer is
that the "publisher" spends the time and money at shows like AmiExpo.  So,
it is likely that from now on I (personally) will attend only the local
shows (I mean the LA area).

The delay was mainly due to the contract negotiations and the addition
of a few new features (not mentioned in the AmigaWorld article).  The first
item has now been taken care of.  Of the second item, we have control of the
coding part and the manual writing.  Printing, duplicating and shipping is
all out of our hands.  I believe OXXI has already sent out upgrade notices
to old registered A-Talk, A-Talk Plus, and MaxiComm users (or is in the
process of sending them out). I belive the upgrade from A-Talk Plus to 
A-Talk III is $25. [To tell you the truth getting my PhD defense done, 
also had some impact on the delay].  I am sorry about the delay, but
paraphrasing Perry, I prefer to ship a product that is "rock solid"and free 
of major bugs, than putting on the market something that hasn't been fully
tested.  I also have the "disease" of "what if we added this one more nice
feature", and that also delays things.

Keep the faith.

I would be interested in the number and names of .net people that
plan to come to Chigago, too.
But be assured that it isn't the short distance (8 hours flight) that
brings me there. :-)

Any volunteer(s) in the Chigago area that would take the punishment,
ehr... honor, to work something out (like finding a suitable place
for that get-together)?

Now where are those "POLL!POLL!POLL!" people when you really need
them??? :-)

See ya,
