    This was asked in the C64 conference, but for the benefit of those
    who don't read it, who is the sponsor?  I have no stake in this
    since I live in South Carolina, but I'd like to hear about it.

    I was not too impressed by the show.  I did not see any kind of
    fabulous booth by CA.  There were some booths by local retailers
    and the usual big names (EA and such).  Just about every vendor
    was pushing some type of a paint system.  However, there were some
    audio and video digitizer products being demonstrated.
      The layout was good and there was a fair range of vendors onhand.
    Most of the stuff that I saw was for the C128 and C64.  At an
    entrance fee of $5 I woiuld say that it was a good deal.  My problem
    is that I went in expecting a full fledged professional show and
    this wasn't.  What it turned out to be was a good show put on by
    a non local users group...
