Our first meeting started at 10:00am on June 21, 2003. Unfortunately, Dave had to work and could not make it with the A1200 and Mediator. Maybe next time. The meeting began with myself, Jack, Michael, Loran, Ken and Cameron discussing various Amiga's we have owned over the years, and of course what we have used them for.

I set up the A3000 and hooked it up to our broadband network to show Ibrowse 2.3 (demo version) and Yam. I also had Dynamite installed to show connecting to live internet servers and played a couple of rounds.

Jack brought along an external 880k floppy, which I wound up with since my internal one is dying. (Thank you Jack!). He also had a GVP 030 expansion unit, complete with hard drive and ram for the A500 which was given away to Loran.

Doug and Debbie arrived around noon with the AmigaOne. The case was opened so we could get a look at the board first hand (and take pics). Doug also had his laptop with AmigaDE installed and ran various software like Planet Zed, and several other games. It was nice to see some of these things in action instead of just screenshots. The AmigaOne was running Debian and seemed really quick.

Doug showed numerous videos played back on the AmigaOne, including some footage shot at previous Amiga shows and the TechTV interview with Bill McEwen. He was also running SETI at Home on the AmigaOne and on his laptop!

Over all, it was a fun and informative meeting. I enjoyed meeting everyone, and look forward to our next meeting.
