Ahh... that's true.  I thought you meant Atari Computers.  Bruce Tomlin's our 
resident Atari hacking expert.  He's done a couple Atari 2600/5200 cartridge 
hacking/coding talks over the past 6-7 years. And those are always fun.  I 
loved the time that he brought in the Colecovision, used it to discuss 
evolving processor architectures, and showed how to use an ICE module (In 
Circuit Emulator) to feed it Game code in real time... fun stuff..  But 
talking on this... we've had a dozen or so "X-otic" presentations on weird 
little systems like that.. So should we put each and every logo of every 
X-otic system we've ever presented on?

I wouldn't think so... ;)

But.. Amiga /is/ different in that XCSSA was directly born out of the old 
Amiga group here in SA in 1996 called CASA.. which makes me want to pay it 
special attention.  But at the same time, we haven't had a real Amiga demo in 
years now, and most of us have given away our Amy hardware & software... 

Now... we all know that most of our demos are on or around  Linux/BSD/UN*X 
OS'... So these tend to be "the focus" of XCSSA.. but at the same time, I 
don't want to limit what we proclaim to be our focus.  This is partially 
because our "focus" is so broad, that it's really not even a focus.  It's 
more of a theme.  

So with all this being said.. if you have a "logo idea" (or submission).. Now 
is the time to send it in.  Again.. here's the current logo drafts that I've 
thrown together:

So let me know your thougts (on or off list), and stay tuned...
