Most definately, For myself this is the only time that I usually get to meet
other amiga owners. So being stuck in a building all day and being able to
talk to someone without boring thier socks off makes such a welcome change!

Its not just Ray and Chris, Everyone and anyone who was involved in setting
the show up and then the rest of the people that turned up to have a look
around. Ohh and can I give a extra thanks to 'Mrs Ray' (sorry forgotten
names :-/) for the Box of Orange juice.. went down well for the journey
back! :-))

I forgot to eat!:-O
Guess I was too busy looking at other things around and about to bother
eating. Didnt actually see the AOne though! (not missing much from what I
have been told :-/ )

Theres always next time! and I will take my hub and then we can get all the
usergroups connected if they have ethernet and have one big DynAMIte or
Quake deathmatch! ;-) Hopefully you will have the 060 card that you ordered
by then so we should have pretty even system setups! :-) Infact, by the
SEAL or HAUG show hopefully the SharkPPC cards will be out andI will have
one of them sat in the machine ticking over..

I still have enough of the A4 'posters' left over though to fill one entire
wall in my bedroom so I think I'll do that tommorow! (should help cut down
reflection on the screen)

Especially if I can afford a flat before (whenever/if ever) it happens!
Thanks again and as Nick said...
Till the next time! :-)
