    This year I will be taking my PegII (running MorphOS!) to NAB 2005 in Los Vegas in April so I can show it to Newtek. What is the best software, icon set, tools that I can install so I can pimp it the best and show how cool it is?

    Too cool that you are doing this. MPlayer is always a nice thing to show. You play a DIVX in window mode and waggle the window around in circles to show that it doesn't freeze or skip. You can run vovka's great Devedie for an MPlayer GUI or to play DVDs.

    When I show my Peg I usually run VirusX just to show there is virus software available.

    I'd say one super-important thing is to have the Peg running silently in a smart, preferable small case. Good luck!

    Oh, and maybe you could show Wetter?

    I would be glad to show Wetter but I am not sure if the system will be connected to the net @ NAB.

    I will also be showing off MorphOS at the Midwest NewTek Expo & Training show next month in Wisconsin.

    Hello !

    The easiest would be to install a clean MorphOS with several third
    party software (TCP/IP stack, MPlayer, ...).

    Keep in mind to be simple, for example put icon of Ambient like this:
    Voyager (Web browser)
    Kaya (Audio player)
    MPlayer (Versatile Media Player)
    APDF (PDF Reader)
    ..

    You could show ANR which is a great eye candy software :-)
    (remenber to ask to the AmigaZeux folk).
    And, very important, don't forget MUI Mine :-)

    For NewTek, I don't think they are really interrested in OS easy to
    use...you may try to advertise G4/Altivec power...
    I think you should have a clean Linux install on the HD. And, if your
    country allow that, a MacOS X setup too.

    Good luck.
    MorphOS Rulez !
