ADAMCON 01 
Tuesday, October 10, 1989 
 
Monte opened day 4 with a number of announcements.
     1. Door prizes will be awarded during the day instead of at the dinner tonight.
     2. Dale Wick of MTAG is distributing a survey.  All are asked to have their groups fill out and return to MTAG.
     3. A bus will go to Church Street Station, leaving at 6:15. 
 
The morning general session discussed where ADAM is going in the 90's and beyond.  On the panel:
     1. Jim Notini - NIAD
     2. Dave Snowden - LAUGH
     3. Jay Forman - M.W. Ruth
     4. Faye Deere - ECAUG
     5. Pat Herrington - MOAUG 
As with Monday's discussion on User groups the information was so extensive that it will be the subject of a seperate write-up.  I can mention at this time that part of the discussion was the location of ADAMCON02.  Toronto was selected, partly due to the large contingent of ADAMites from Canada. 
 
The long awaited door prize drawing was then held.  Compuserve $15.00 credits and ADAMZAP 'Buy one get one free' certificates were handed out to everyone.  Attached is a list of all the prizes handed out.  
 
At lunch, Chris Braymen demonstrate his MIDI interface for the ADAM.  This allows you to create music (using Videotunes for example) and play the music thru an external synthesizer or musical keyboard.  This opens up more new worlds for ADAM. 
 
The afternoon product demo's started off with Tony Patterson and GODOS.  GOBASIC defaults at this time and many demo's are on a seperate disk.  The capabilities of this powerful operating system are fantastic!  We can only hope that release of GODOS is very soon. 
Other demo's:
     Walters Software - SMARTDSK cart, LABELWORKS and VASE OF TURR.
     Syd Carter - Sound Digitizer and clock/calender.
     Eric Danz - ADAMZAP game.
     Ron Collins - Hard drive interface.
     Alan Neeley - A-Net BBS
     Tony Patterson + Ron Collins - GODOS and Temple of the Snow Dragon.
     Phil Kosowsky - ADAM Repair
     
The final event of the afternoon was the ADAM STORE!!  Many people brought used hardware and software and there were several ADAM vendors selling their wares.  Imagine!! Buying ADAM products 'off the shelf'.  It was a new experience for most. There were many great deals. 
 
The convention was wrapped up at Church Street Station in downtown Orlando.  The dinner was excellent and all had compliments for Monte and MOAUG for the wonderful job they did. 
 
SEE YOU ALL IN TORONTO NEXT YEAR!!!
