Several people in the group recognized these guys from previous 
presentations they made at General Dynamics. They showed Workbench 2.0
running on a high res display! There were writers and photgraphers from
several Amiga magazines there also. It really happened, I've seen pictures
from the meeting and it's just as I remember it :-)

Maybe we should upload digitized versions of the pictures if there's
enough interest. It's an Amiga 3000 alright - the case looks like a
2000 case, but a little longer (supposedly to house the longer boards
or something like that). Really an awesome machine, they had a CD-ROM
hooked up to it earlier and were running anims from a CD-ROM at GD, in
real time! The sun always shines in San Diego.

Oh, and by the way, we're not just "some" users group as you mention!
We've been here since DAY ONE on the Amiga, and are over 400 members
strong! No FAUG to be sure, but the Amiga community in SD is alive and well!
