OULU, FINLAND - November 23rd, 2006 - <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Finnish Amiga Users Group holds its Christmas meeting</span> in Oulu, Finland on Saturday, November 25th. The event is free for anyone interested in Amiga, the last great home computer. Admittance is free of charge and refreshments will be available.

It is now less than a month until PUSH 2006.1 starts. This time we will probably be more people than ever. The price is the same (200 SEK) but we arrange the party over four days (Friday evening to Monday afternoon). Since Monday is May 1st most people are off-work we rented the house for this day aswell.

The party will take place at Wartagården where previous parties have been. It's a good house with everything we need. This time we welcome everyone running anything besides Microsoft Windows(tm). This is no longer a Pegasos/PowerPC-only event.

Pegasos User Group, Sweden (PUGS) will arrange another PUSH event. We will host it at the same place as before - Wartagården in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The house is booked to the May 1st weekend (April 28th to May 1st - Friday evening to Monday).
We will start on Friday evening at 20.00 CET but we understand if most of you can't show up before Saturday.

Fotos report: event "20 years Amiga" in Lausanne (Switzerland) Some fotos!

On Saturday, October the 1st 2005, the Amiga club AMF will celebrate a jubilee
from 10 am to 5 pm in EPFL-Lausanne (Suisse) due to Amiga's 20th anniversary.

I wrote a report of PUSH 2005.2 held last weekend in Gothenburg, Sweden. During PUSH we also had a short Q/A session with Bill Buck. The Q/A log can be read here.

Thanks to anyone who attended and/or helped us out!

PUGS wants to remind you of the PowerPC Computer Party of the year - PUSH. On Friday - in just one week - the doors are open. Bring your PowerPC computers for a great weekend of fun.

The entrance fee is set to 300 SEK but if you pre-register you get a 100 SEK rebate. We recommend everyone interested to pre-register. The registration is not cogent, so if you cannot come, we won't charge you anything. It is a mere way for us to get an idea of how many people coming.

In honour of the 20th anniversary of the Amiga, the Fyanica Party, which is the biggest annual Amiga party in Hungary, is being held on the 23rd of July this year. We hope to make this a very exciting party, we will show the different Amiga models which were made, from the oldest to the newest (including A1 & Pegasos), show what they're capable of and how the Amiga evolved thorughout the years. Demoscene lovers will be able to enjoy all the best Amiga demos on the big screen. There will be a very nostalgic atmosphere.
