    On Sunday I was there as a visitor. There was some (brandnew) Commodore
    64, also Amigas and new Mega65. Some CPCs. And also a BBC Micro and a
    Raspberry PI running RISC OS.

    I missed something like a presentation or introduction to the Usenet.

    May be I will take part next year myself with some Raspberry PIs or a
    Titanium. I don't know yet. From this show, I read first some weeks before
    in de.alt.folklore.computer (Usenet).

    Do you have any ideas what I could show or demonstrate there? Please feel
    free to ask to lay out leaflets etc. for you. Or just to help in anything.

    Here some old show reports (as movies):

    Hallo Alexander,

    good demonstration is always to show the desktop and the RISC
    OS-concept itself: Drag&Drop, context sensitive menus, the funtion of
    the 3-button-mouse etc.

    Graphic-Demos are always popular, but showing an "office"-suite like
    e.g. fireworks or "productive" programs like Techwriter, Artworks etc.
    is impressive too.
    (list above could be extend, of course...)

    Programs or Demos programmed in BASIC could show, how fast the system
    is.

    Or enumarate the hardware, RISC OS could run on (Archimedes, RiscPC,
    A4, A9, Iyonix, Pi, Beagleboard, Pandaboard, Titanium, Wandboard...)

    Just some thoughts...

    Chris Dewhurst's excellent WIMP library can be used to write programs
    that run in the desktop. All library definitions are written in BASIC
    and their coding described in "The Application Tutorial and Listings
    Book".

    Or enumarate the hardware, RISC OS could run on (Archimedes,
    RiscPC, A4, A9, Iyonix, Pi, Beagleboard, Pandaboard, Titanium,
