For the fourth year in a row, AmiTech-Dayton, Amiga Computer Users Group, is
sponsoring AmigaFest, a show within a show at Computerfest®. The purpose
of AmigaFest is to provide a concentration of Amiga oriented vendors and exhibitors
in the show to provide improved support for the Amiga Community. If you are a
current or former Amiga user, or are just curious about the platform, stop by
AmigaFest 2002 and find out what is currently going on with Amiga. There are
many new developments on the horizon and we will have some available for
demonstration or sale at the show.

The AmigaFest 2002 area will include a Seminar/Presentation section, that will
be showing off the capabilities of the Amiga system, including alternative
operating systems that are currently in development for the Amiga community.
Presentations will be going on continuously throughout the show. In addition
there will be an Amiga museum displaying nearly every model of the Amiga that
was produced.

One of the advantages of the Amiga platform is its extremely efficient operating
system that has provided pre-emptive multi-tasking since its introduction in
1985. The next version of the Amiga OS will make full use of the PowerPC CPU line.
A new generation of Amiga hardware is on the horizon that will back up the
efficiency of the operating system with modern computing horsepower.  Amiga OS
Emulators are also currently available, and will be demonstrated at AmigaFest 2002,
bringing Amiga efficiency to X86-based systems bypassing Windows. Drop by and
find out about all the upcoming developments.

As in years past we will be holding several demos that should be of interest
to any present, past or future Amiga user. We will have demos of MorphOS installed
on a PPC equipped Amiga 1200, Amithlon and AmigaXL installed on a PC, and using
digital cameras on your Amiga. Other demos are in the works. Stop by our booths
for a complete schedule of events.

We are expecting several exhibitors for this year's AmigaFest. They include
Extreme Computing, developers of a new line of X86-based computers optimized
to run new Amiga OS emulation systems; Compuquick Multi Media Center; FWD
Computing; Mr. Hardware; E. S. Productions; G and G Publications, publishers
of The New Amigans magazine; the Amiga Cafe; AmiTech Dayton and Grasshopper LLC,
developer of Pagestream, the premier desk top publishing program for Amiga, now
also available for Macintosh and Windows.

Additionally, on Saturday night after the show, we have arranged to have
a gathering for a dinner and social get together for all Amigans. Stop by the
AmiTech-Dayton booth, pick up a flyer, and be sure to join in the fun.


We think it's going to be an interesting and fun show. There are a couple of
definite advantages to having an Amiga Show in conjunction with a show like
Computerfest®. First of all it gives the Amiga user access to a concentrated
selection of Amiga gear, a lot of which will be at special show prices. Secondly,
it gives them unparalleled access to a broad selection of general equipment
that we all need and a little shopping will find them at bargains beyond belief.

As always, we hope all Amigans will stop by and show their support.
Hope to see you there!
