Computerland sponsored an Amigafest in San Diego February 21-22.
Among the products shown were:

* GenLock and Frame Grabber
* CSA 68020 board
* TecMar hard disks
* EA games, Aegis application programs.

Briefly --

The GenLock was very interesting.  The background color (normally blue) was
replaced by the David Letterman show.  (Real Cute).  Then they ran
the bouncing ball on top of Dave and other demos.  This is a must get
product.

The Frame grabber had really fuzzy pictures.

I didn't notice any significant speed up (they were running the bouncing ball 
demo) while using the '020 board.  The salesman says -- "Watch.  I'll enable
the cache. See (he enables the cache) the speed increase??". no.

Didn't talk to the TecMar people.

Of course all the games looked good.
