MSX evolution poll down, foreign fairs poll up

A new month, a new poll! Prior to presenting the new poll, let's have a look at the outcome of the poll from January. How should the MSX evolve? After 329 votes, here are the final results:

MSX should:

be expanded with any modern expansions: 35.87%
be expanded as long as it generally breathes retro: 32.83%
stay a retro machine: 31.31%

The results turn out to be evenly spread, and they have been like that for weeks already. It clearly shows there are MSX'ers with different intentions: some people are all into retro, while others want to connect the latest gadgets to their MSX. There's a slight advantage for people who like to enhance their MSX with the latest gadgets, but it's no vast majority. Conclusion? A conclusion could be that software- and hardware manufacturers can't really cancel out any of these options, there are people who like retro software (like for a bare MSX1) and there are people who would like software for their massively boosted MSX.

The new poll is about visiting foreign MSX fairs/meetings: would you take the plane, boat or any other means to travel vast distances and travel for several hours to visit an MSX fair/meeting abroad? For instance, would the Dutch people visit MadriSX, would Spanish people visit Bussum, would non-Scandinavian people visit MSX Info Update in Finland (which may take many hours of flying already even if you actually live in Finland)? Pack your bags, and cast your vote!
