     By my count, this is the 12th or 13th year of the AmiWest Show, and this year's show is October 16-18, at the Capital City Hotel, 2600 Auburn Blvd., Sacramento, California.
     Friday night is devoted to the "Classic Clinic" where you can have your classic Amiga machines diagnosed and repaired on the spot. Seminars will be on Saturday and Sunday, and the AmiWest Show banquet is on Saturday night.  Tickets for the banquet are $29.00 each. You must reserve in advance.  Please send your check to:

     The first day of the AmiWest Show is over.  The banquet is coming up.  Duncan of TOGA brought in his X68000 system.  Another person was running a NTSC C64DTV.  Tomorrow I'll see if I can bring in a C64/128 system for Shredz64 (Guitar Hero).

     Day 2 of the AmiWest Show, and we have been moved to a different room! The original exhibition room had condensation from the air-conditioning leaking down the electrical lines, and this morning the management moved everybody to a smaller room. As of this moment, everybody is scrambling to set up tables and get power to everything.
     There was no time to get a C64 system packed up and moved to here, and so, no Shredz64 demonstration from me.  I take solace in the fact that Tim Waite brought his CommodoreOne system to show off.
