Nope - they're all 68LC040, a low-power surface mount version, 25 or 33
MHz. People would really scream if they couldn't use VM on their
PowerBooks. :-)

Like real estate salespeople say: Location! Location! Location!

One thing Atari did right was choosing Dusseldorf for their show
(not that it takes a lot of smarts to figure that one out...) But
Dusseldorf, which is located centrally to *Europe*, is bound to be
more attractive.

(For geographically challenged: Hennef is a suburb of Bonn which is
a couple of stonesthrows from Dusseldorf.)

"Jealous" is perhaps not the right word. I did not say that English was less
suited for international communication than any other language. I simply don't
like the fact that some people should have the advantage that their mother
language is the "international standard language". The same chances for
everyone! (By the way, I am german and not french.)

Best regards

You're right ;-)

BTW, which models have a 66 mhz clock? There's even a PowerBook with that
speed but I forgot the model.

But the Hennef proTOS was also considered to be much better than the FEZ-A-BIT
in Berlin. And Berlin is quite famous, isn't it ;-)

Couldn't agree more, I've been very puzzled by the show locations, Ulm, Berlin
Hennef. I guess the exhibition hall is more expensive at Dusseldorf.

ISTR that Dusseldorf attracted visitors, and exhibitors, from UK, Holland and
Belgium, don't think you could say the same for Berlin or Ulm.

Indeed some would say that Berlin is *at* the centre of Europe. Measuring
from the North Cape, the Urals, the Bosphorus, and the Atlantic... :)
