Competition

1. Results of the last competition

Thirty-five readers entered the last competition.

Please consider entering again: Remember, you can win by answering	just two questions.

But now, last month's solutions:

Standard question:	At the greatest (not only Computer-) show in the world
	happening before long the first handheld device based
	upon AmigaDE will be presented. What is the name of
	this show?

Solution:	Of course we asked for the CeBIT, the biggest show in
	the world.

Master question:	Which company will release this handheld device to
	the market?

Solution:	Correct answer: »Thendic Electronic Components«.

Question of opinion:	Will you visit the show we are talking about?

Answer	Number of Nominations

1 (Yes)	5
2 (No)	30

Several participants added comments to their answers to the question of opinion:

Karl-Heinz Bader answers the question, whether he will visit the CeBIT in a, well, let me call it quite interesting, way: »Probably not. But maybe after all yes? :))«

Krister S. Skrtic answers "No" and states: »If only we had a similar show here in Gothenburg, Sweden! I certainly should visit it!«

Stephan Karnasch likewise will not come, because he is in the middle of preparations for his A-Level exam.

Gernod Schomberg as well will not go to the CeBit: »To keep my professional career on track I felt obliged to visit the Hannover show every year. I did it once many years ago, had to visit business partners, saw just two of them in one day, and afterwards I was so worn out by all the walking around, that I was happy to head home by Intercity Express train in the late night! In the years after that I made a habit of telling my boss about a colleague much better qualified than I, who was enthusiastic to go to the show.

Besides, I always received the show info from our business partners and suppliers beautifully presented, much better than I could have done it.

And why should I today, a pensioner, endure all this grief when all the media carry detailed reports about it?«

Net result:

I was quite surprised by the low interest among participants in the CeBIT. Not just because of the possible presentation of the first AmigaDE products this year, but because I generally assumed that the biggest fair of the world had a high value among Amiga users, too. But this seems to be a mis-assessment, perhaps because the CeBIT more and more has the image of a »Professional Fair« in its latest years.

But now the winners of the last competition:

1 x Full version of "AFiloFaxPro": Gerhard Schmid
1 x Full version of "Amiga Writer 2.0": Jean Holzammer
1 x Full version of "MXM Chart Light": Philip Geldmacher

Congratulations!
