Attend. I remember Centallica saying, "If you come to my retro event, I'll make sure you have one in each arm leaving for free" and since he's giving one away as a door prize, I bet the other one has your name on it.

I really hope you can make it. It sounds it will be a blast and you'll feel awful the next day when we're all raving about how much fun we had...

Yup, a unboxed 1 or 2 are yours for the visit and manual too

A boxed one you might have to sing "I adore my commodore 64" song, get a commodore tattoo or dance with.....

Should be fun trying anyways

Yeah, as always, but I think I might just play games for a change

Centallica! Your are a generous man!

I've not seen that type of 1541 box before.....I have one in a slightly different sleeve box.

The hobby isn't about having lots of stuff, it's about how you share the stuff

Wish I had a spare C64 when I picked up the Amiga the other day as the guy who gave me the Amiga wanted a C64 to re-live his youth on...that would of have been great

(I kept his email and when I do get a extra, I'll drop him a line...)

Almost worth the drive to come for the even now eh

Wish I could make it, but it's a shorter drive to visit Jeff in Chicago!

Very nice! What kind of stuff do you do with your PET? I've been doing a bit of gaming on one of my 4032s lately.

Cool, this clearly calls for a few more pics

Maybe some more yet to come and if anyone got anything to add feel free to bring it (let me know ahead of time so I can figure out what types of activities the prizes will be awarded for)

Hey Brian, would you like to have LOT more more stuff to give away as prizes ?

How about 2 1084 monitors, 10 1541 drives, 5 C64s, 5 C64Cs, 4 C128, one VIC-20 with datasette and 5 Amiga 500s ?

I must get rid of all this in a hurry... and I have no time to test them all but I am quite sure most of it all works just fine.

Yikes! That's a lot of stuff, eslapion. How would you get it from Montreal to Barrie? Unless you're planning on coming which would be quite cool!

I would really like to. Now let me look at that map... now is that an 8 or a 10 hour drive?

Okay, I can go if I get a decent place to sleep for free and somebody pays for the fuel...
