The following is an condensed press release. No content has been changed; parts have only been removed and rearranged, and converted to HTML. Aside from that, it has intentionally been left unedited. It is of potential interest to the Amiga community primarily because the platform may be moving over to the PowerPC, in conjunction with other reasons.
In July, in Montreal, the first annual PowerPC Convention will take place! This convention will gather the PowerPC community together from all across the world to show its support for the PowerPC platforms! (BeBox, PIOS-ONE, A/Box, Amiga(PowerUP), PowerMac(& clones), IBM, Motorola) We hope to make this show an event that will demonstrate the "POWER" behind PowerPC's and their operating systems (BeOS, pOS, MacOS, Linux, Solaris, AIX).
- PowerCon'97 WWW is now online! Everything concerning the events will be there (http://www.moebius.qc.ca/PowerCon97/). Thanks to Moebius Technologies Inc. for hosting the site.
- PIOS maker of a new PowerPC box (PIOS-ONE) will be there to demonstrate their new products (http://www.pios.de)
- ProDAD are developing a new OS called pOS, it look similar to Amiga OS. It is currently port to the PowerPC, a 68k version is already available (http://www.prodad.de)
WHY: We are putting on the PowerCon'97 to support our favorite computers. We feel that there is a place for the PowerPC platform within the "WINTEL" monopoly.
