I was kind of disappointed with the Yaroze display though. Only two Yarozes showing demos, which was ok. What I didn't like was, they were being watched over by a man who didn't seem to like people touching the machines. He would quietly hover over you like a an overprotective mother. Other than that, E3 was nicely done. Jason Jones On Thu, 26 Jun 1997 07:44:17 -0500, Jeff wrote: >Jon Blocksom wrote: > >> Just out of curiousity, did any other Yaroze owners attend E3?
