Hi Darren
This NEC show was Micro Mart's first attempt at running a Large show
and of course the show went well as they do tend to at the NEC. Micro
Mart intend to try this maybe twice a year and are interested in
computers that are not PCs so it's obvious that D&D should be involved
considering we manufacture the Worlds fastest new 68K Linux machine
:-)
If D&D continue to be successful with our Q60 then I was hoping to
expand our section at the show to include others within our group,
Quanta would be an obvious choice and maybe other traders, remembering
this is by invitation, we do not know the amount of space available.
If you email Micro Mart (editor) and let them know how much you
enjoyed their show this will spur them on.
Sorry about the slow reply, I've been away again. Does anyone else
fancy the NEC as a part shared workshop?
