Hi guys,
A good old contact and a big Amiga fan asked me a long time ago if I would like to spend time with him at the end of the year in Neuss for the "Amiga 34".
And then today the time has come! At 08:00 o'clock I was picked up at home and then we left for about an hour with his car to Neuss.
There, in the "Rheinisches Landestheater" with several exhibitors and previously (I think) 500 pre-sold and limited tickets the Amiga Event of the Year took place.
I was very surprised how many users and exhibitors actually existed - I really would not have expected that.
In particular, I was very impressed and surprised by how many people / companies showed special Amiga hardware and new developments (also FPGAs) or open source designs.
In addition to well-known greats like "Chris Hülsbeck, there were of course" Petro Tyschtschenko "," David John Pleasance "on site, and there were also people from the DemoScene, such as the Haujobb group ;-)
The atmosphere I found throughout the day as very pleasant and I have seen in my view, an incredible amount of new developments and also to see old treasures.
On the large event area there were also various lectures, new (partly not yet finished) Amiga games were shown and could be played.
There was absolutely no lack of catering. So here was very small money for wickedly well-being of the people (food and drink = coffee, cake, sausage, meatballs, kale, etc.) provided! This and the event itself was just great and had fun on more!
Below I will try to upload some spontaneous snapshots (photos) here ...
Have fun and best regards to all ...
Thorsten - aka va! N
