The WCCF used to be the premier home and small business computer show on the West Coast but flagging support of the original silicon valley successes like Cromemco, and then Apple caused it to go down hill. Now it is no more than a swap meet and some fond memories. However, the spirit that makes the Amiga such a neat computer to hack on is _exactly_ the kind of thing that WCCF is all about. If C/A could show up as a the "big" exhibitor and get some of the bigger developers to show up as well (actually Word Perfect was there) it could be converted back into a good show with the Amiga getting center stage. That would be good for Commodore, and that would be good for WCCF. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
