    Any thoughts about AmiWest 2021?

    I'm always excited about AmiWest time, but this year I'm having a hard time
    getting too worked up about it. This legal mess seems to never end and there just doesn't seem to be much reason for optimism. As always so many of last years annoucements have not come to pass.

    The good news is that, as someone who does not attend in person, it's good to see more online activity, although I realize that makes it diffcult to keep the show going if you're trying to sell tables, etc.

    What do you think?

    I'm not uptodate with current Amiga affairs... So what is AmiWest? What legal mess?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Hi Wilfred,

    AmiWest is the longest running Amiga show in the US and is held annually each October in California. There is always a large amount of internet coverage with streaming feeds for all the presentations, announcements, etc. For more info check out https://www.amiwest.net/.

    As far as the legal mess, there are several lawsuits and other legal actions going on, but it's far too complicated to give any kind of summary on as things
    are constantly in motion with all of it, plus I lost track of a lot of it a while ago as it just wasn't worth my time to keep up with any longer. The impact on development is, of course, significant.

    Here's hoping things get better, although I'm not sure how that could happen at
    this point.

    I must have heard of it before, but I don't remember. ;-)
