Please give him your feedback, not me. Reply to johnbarnes@enh.nist.gov, or post to the net. Thanks, weiner] Feedback on WAACE Show A number of people people from Netland attended the WAACE AtariFest, held on 6 and 7 October 1990. There were approximately 34 vendors and a number of other developers who presented new products in demonstration rooms and seminars. The event was held in a hotel in suburban Reston, VA. A number of vendor types stated that the show was better than the World of Atari in Anaheim and others felt that it surpassed the combined Glendale and San Jose shows as far as the volume of business that the vendors did. The organizers of the show would appreciate feedback on the following points: 1). Did you find the show worthwhile? 2). Did you find the show too costly? 3). Was there an adequate information content? 4). Did you experience any operational rough spots? 5). Which seminars or demos did you like best? This was the seventh effort put together by the WAACE team, but it was the first one to use a hotel setting. Each new edition presents its own problems, but it is nice to get input from users to help make the next production better. The WAACE group will be evaluating the feasibility of and the format for a possible 1991 event over the next few weeks. You may post the feedback answers publicly if you wish or you may e-mail them to johnbarnes@enh.nist.gov. -- weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu "Ted, I fear that strange Bet your ass I'm a wolverine... things are afoot at the CircleK"
