I couldn't make it to the FAUG meeting last night, but Tom Wright
did.  Here's what he said on our internal Amiga conference:
 
> Amiga 500 commercial, FAUG

>
>    It was like a thirty second video test flight.  It was on at 10:50 on
> channel 2. It's about time!

>    I got  both the  September and October  Robo City  News at  FAUG last
> night. Dale Luck showed a videotape 'source unknown' showing the closing
> of Amiga in Los Gatos and a farewell party at a farm somewhere.  He also
> said he was taking  orders for black satin jackets with  the Amiga beach
> ball and  logo on  the back.  They  are around $110  and take  about two
> months to get but they do look very nice.

[How do I go about getting one, Dale?]

>    A couple guys from HT showed a drum machine program, some Sonix songs
> that sounded  just like  real studio  recordings and  the Mousetrap  and
> Firepower games which both look like fun.
>
>    A person from Aegis said a free upgrade to Sonix was being developed.
> Two people from 360 Systems (?) showed an excellent port of the Mac Dark
> Castle.   InnoVision Systems  showed their  Video Effects  3D which  did
> impressive 3D  animation like  flying logos  and shattered  logos coming

So how many points do you get for nailing a unicycle?  Is it a felony, or
misdemeanor?  Does one need a license or permit to create large holes in
such a fashion?
