Two things. Too many people are responding to the Award voting and the get together so please DO NOT request a reply. I just gave up since most return addresses bounce back. The voting is coming along. So far almost all Amiga - CATS - CBM - C-A Eng. have received at least one vote. Nobody has come up with a "good" name for the Award, though. Anybody from CBM wants to suggest anything that will be "accepted" by all at CBM? (so nobody gets pissed off at me :-) About the get-together. Date/time is still not decided. A message from grr on BIX hinted that it could be a "small" parallel session in one of the time slots which currently have only one session listed. Keep those votes coming. -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Nobody has come up with a "good" name for the Award, though. How about the "ALLCAT"? I have to say right here that I repudiate the entire concept of this award. To single out any one of the C/A folk for recognition implies that the others are, somehow, inferior. This ain't the case. ALL of the C/A folk have been the most informative, helpful, and supportive people I've seen from ANY computer company. Picking any one of them out is massively unfair to all of the rest of them. I'd like to go on record as saying that whoever it is that finally wins this thing, all of the rest of C/A folks SHOULD have won it, too. If I were going to DevCon (gawd, I wish I could. I wish I could afford the $50 to BE a developer :-) I would take all of the "losers" out to dinner. No, I'd take all of the C/A folk out to dinner, and get Marco to pick up the tab :-) :-) Oh, yes - I've refused to vote. I suggest that all you folk do the same, and send email to Marco letting him know. If you've already voted, take it back. -- Michael J.

Nope, CAT or CATS is too much related to the group that is set up to support developers, and does not include some of the most voted like George and Dave. > I would take all of the "losers" out to >dinner.

I could alwaus put it as business expense, but I beleive with the new tax laws I could recoup only 90%. I'll investigate. By the way, there are only 7 days left to vote. The race is still pretty tight and a few votes could make a difference. Keep sending those votes in. -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
