Well – The Miracle in Newport II show has come and gone, however, the memories of this show still linger оп. List had four members representing LIST: Phil Florio, Ken Lang, Joe LaPunzina and yours truly. The trip from Massapequa, NY to Newport took approximately four hours and fifteen minutes. Phil and I arrived at the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge, the site for the show, at 10:15 AM.
The show was underway when we walked in. The room had tables around each of the four walls. Mechanical Affinity had approximately three or four tables chocked full of software and hardware at discounted prices and business appeared to be booming for them. Frank and Carol Davis and Paul Holmgren manned their tables.
Stuart Honeyball of Miracle Systems, Ltd, was busy taking orders for his Super Gold Card. Apparently, The first опе hundred Super Gold Cards were sold immediately in the Europe. Stuart ordered more PC boards from his РС board supplier in the UK and he expected to assemble and ship at least 20 Super Gold Cards to Newport for sale. The PC board manufacturer could not produce the Super Gold Card boards for Miracle in time for the Newport show. I placed an order for а Super Gold Card and traded in an issue 3 Gold Card which brought down the price at £200.
