Electronica 2004 - munich - Altera ???

Hi all,

I've just came back from the Electronica 2004 exhibition that took
place in munich - Germany, I wanted to ask the guys here or the Altera
guys - how come that they weren't there...?

Xilinx has been there and so is Actel (their booths were located back
to back)
Lattice was also there (altough they were located a little far from
the others).

I know that in the past years Altera showd for this exhibition and it
was very disappointing to see that they werent there this year.

However I finally got to meet Ken Chapman from xilinx - he presented
us with  some new stuff for the spartan 3 picoblaze and it was very
interesting.

Altera was there, you had to find them, and they even had free T-Shirts!
So my wife changed from Z to A ;) her previous T shirt was Zilog-Z8

It's always nice to meet Ken, the real english-english gives one a warm
feeling instantly!

I looked for them in the Electronica web site and they werent there so
I figured out that they wont be there.. and due to the fact that I
also didnt saw them in the A4/A5 area I was under the impression that
they didnt come at all..
And now after u told me about the T-shirt I'm realy realy sorry that I
didnt found them ;)

Maybe next time...

Here I have to agree with you, he is a very nice guy - I also took our
picture together.
