	I attended HyperExpo in San Francisco over the weekend. It seemed
poorly attended; I estimate <1000 since the large session room was only
filled once when Bill Atkinson spoke about V1.2, but it was worth the $25
registration fee.
	Bill Atkinson mentioned there is a bug fix release called V1.2.1
which fixes a problem with V1.2 and ImageWriter printers and a few other
unmentionables. The deal is take your V1.2 disk to your retailer and they
give you the V1.2.1 disk. I don't know if you get to keep V1.2 or if it's
a one for one trade.
	The hotest stack on the Expo floor was ManHole (by PROLOG I think).
It and adventure/exploring game for pre-readers and the best demonstration
of what HyperWare is really capable of doing. The graphics were outstanding and the 7 year old I saw using it seemed to be enjoying himself.
