That'd definitely ruffle some Commodore fanboy feathers... :) Good one! On Tue, Apr 1, 2025, 6:38 AM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

For the last two weeks I have received a lot of angry responses after releasing the Program Book. I've received a lot of complaints about having too much Amiga. This stems from the great misconception that there are too many Commodore speakers at VCF East. They all said that they wanted more Windows 95. They said that Microsoft was a much more innovative and important company than Commodore and that the Amiga wasn't an important milestone. Not knowing what to do, I called my brother-in-law who has worked at Microsoft since 1987 and told him my problem. He told me that he knew the team that did Windows 95. In fact he was part of that project. I had no idea! He said that he had to keep it secret for a while until it wasn't relevant.

So he was able to get me in touch with the entire Windows 95 team and they agreed to come to our show even on short notice. They were all retired, having gotten stock very early at Microsoft and therefore are independently wealthy. So in light of this I have cancelled all the Amiga talks and will replace them with Windows 95 talks. I will also change the theme of the show and art to Windows 95. I will have to trash all the t-shirts and program books, but my brother-in-law will pay for the artist and rush changes to get new t-shirts and program books. When money is no object you can get stuff done quickly!

For the Amiga fans out there, don't worry! I will be scheduling the Amiga roundtables for May 4.

Take care!
