This post is in response to the WAACE AtariFest Questionaire.
1. I definitely thought the show was worthwhile. It's about the only place
to find very much Atari related stuff these days.
2. Cost was not a problem.
3. I did not learn very much that was new to me except for some tidbits from
developers about new products. The biggest disappointment(not your fault)
was the lack of any new information from Atari.  No indication of any plans
on how they might revive interest in Atari computers in the U.S. 
4. There were problems getting the overhead projection to work for some of 
the seminars I attended. This should have been worked out well ahead of
time. Also some of the presenters had obviously not prepared anything in
advance.  I think you should make it clear that if someone agrees to make a
presentation that they should have some idea of what they are going to
discuss.  Bob Brodie made a very polished presentation - unfortunatly the 
information content was nil.
5. The MIDI room provided the best presentations that I saw. They were
obviously very well prepared.
