[ Warning: Foo(tm) is a Trademark of Fubar Co ... registration pending! ] I couldn't make it to the FAUG meeting last night, but Tom Wright did. Here's what he said on our internal Amiga conference: > Amiga 500 commercial, FAUG > > > It was like a thirty second video test flight. It was on at 10:50 on > channel 2. It's about time! > > I got both the September and October Robo City News at FAUG last > night. Dale Luck showed a videotape 'source unknown' showing the closing > of Amiga in Los Gatos and a farewell party at a farm somewhere. He also > said he was taking orders for black satin jackets with the Amiga beach > ball and logo on the back. They are around $110 and take about two > months to get but they do look very nice. [How do I go about getting one, Dale?] > A couple guys from HT showed a drum machine program, some Sonix songs > that sounded just like real studio recordings and the Mousetrap and > Firepower games which both look like fun. > > A person from Aegis said a free upgrade to Sonix was being developed. > Two people from 360 Systems (?) showed an excellent port of the Mac Dark > Castle. InnoVision Systems showed their Video Effects 3D which did > impressive 3D animation like flying logos and shattered logos coming > together. > > Allen Hastings showed some great Videoscape 3D animations and a > videotape made from animations which showed a red sports car zooming > down a road and right over a familiar looking unicycle. Then we see > missile carrying helicopters attacking a familiar looking building (in > Sunnyvale) with a Arati sign in front. After the attack there is nothing > left but a hole in the ground and the sign. > > Next month's meeting will be at the Palo Alto Hyatt again. They are > thinking about going back to Rickeys. They will mail out notices and put > one in the paper if they do. They are having their third (?) > anniversary party during next months meeting and plan to have all the > original Amiga designers there. > > Anyone have any corrections or more to add?? > > Tom Wright So how many points do you get for nailing a unicycle? Is it a felony, or misdemeanor? Does one need a license or permit to create large holes in such a fashion? :-) :-) :-) /kim -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,uunet,oliveb,cbosgd,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
