NeXT was there. Sun was there. DEC was there in force. Intergraph was there. No Amigas in sight. Lots of really crummy Autocad Animator videos and sales-sluts raving about multimedia on IBM-PCs. The only person at the show who knew an Amiga from a hole in the ground was the technical type guy at the NeXT booth. The NeXT really acts like an Amiga on steroids... if an A3000UX retails for anything more then the $5000 the NeXTstation costs, forget it. Hey, Commodore? How about reading a few newspapers so you can find out about these things and make a showing? -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
