I'll be there.

Also I hear that on the same weekend and at the same hotel there will be a Victoria's Secret model try-out competition.

If the above is untrue then there will still be some impressive hardware on show. So don't miss it.

I plan to go as well but would really like to share the drive up and the room. Get in touch if you're passing through the LA area on the way or if your here and want to come up to my place and have me drive it.

I'm going. Might even redeem frequent flyer miles and go to the shindig in Frankfurt on the 28th.  
 
 Wow, really cool to see active development, new hardware, etc.!   I've been out of the Amiga loop for a few years.  
 
 Is Phase5 really back in the game or is this vapor?

I think it's real, at least from what I've read about it.

They're making up PCB's, it has yet to be seen whether they're able to source all the components necessary to go on those boards... but it's progress!  ;)

The guy operating under the "Phase 5" label these days used to work in customer support for P5 and bplan (and, apparently, somehow got his hands on technical specs and layouts during the P5 bankruptcy) - he was neither management nor was he a developer. Describing that as "P5 back in the game" might be giving him too much credit.

Plus, there's a ton of unanswered questions regarding the whole thing. Don't get your hopes up yet.

This is way off topic but I know someone personally that received a BPPC board new from this guy, so it is real progress. We shall see.

GO AMIWEST 2017!!!!!!!
