On Saturday 21st and Sunday 22th of September will be held, at "Palazzo delle Esposizioni" in Empoli (Florence) , the sixth italian fair commited to the Amiga Platform and, for the first time, open to alternative platforms: PIANETA AMIGA 2002 (Amiga Planet 2002) Among the exibitors will be present, as usual, hardware and software dealers from Italy and other nations. During the fair it will be possible to see and buy exclusive products, you will be able to speak with the most important "actors" of the italian and international Amiga scene, you will meet very important people of the Amiga world, you will be able to show your works and to exchange opinions and ideas with other amigans. In this edition you'll likely have the opportunity to see in action the new AmigaONE G3SE with the new Amiga OS4 for PowerPC and the Pegasos together with MorphOS, the AmigaOS-compatible operating system written for the PowerPC. Both of these systems will offer the possibility to run Linux for PowerPC and, for a full backwards compatibility with old software, the Amiga UAE for PowerPC. The big news of this year's edition will be the presence of other alternative platforms. It will be possible, for all Mac, Linux, QNX and BeOS users, to find a place where they'll be able to meet each other, exchange ideas, opinions, projects and meet programmers and dealers all together in an event that is going to become one of the most important expression of alternative computing in Italy.
