I was there. Absolutely amazing show. The high-fidelity walk-through recreation of the 'secret back room' in Amiga Corp's 1984 CES booth with the original wire wrap board stacks running original Amiga demos like the legendary red & white bouncing Boing ball was incredible. They used photos to match every detail down to the color of the walls, decoration and position of the gear on the tables.
The Boing ball was demo was completed the night before the show by two programmers who worked all night in the booth and left it running as they fell asleep on the booth floor. The normal booth staff arrived in the morning and got to be the first people to ever see it running. Amazing story and incredible that engineer Dale Luck saved so much of that original gear and has gotten it working again.
