Happy April, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 10 a.m. to 1+ p.m., Sunday, April 17 at --
Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
Fresno, California
(559) 227-1686
Note the earlier meeting time - 10 a.m. instead of our usual 11 a.m start time.
In software we try the newest version of Jason "Pyrofer" Wright's 80-column C128 game, BoulderDash C128. For the C64, we'll go over the new Reset #08 magazine and its C64 coverdisk of games and demos. For the classic Amiga, we have the demo of the new game, Tanks Furry. For the VIC-20 with 24K RAM expansion, we look over the new game, Mah Jongg. For the Plus/4, it's the new game, Hugohunt.
For the hardware part of the meeting, we'll cover the various bits from the collection of Gerald Oborn, hardware like an extremely early motherboard version of a C64 housed in a VIC-20 case, a C128 with the Utilities Unlimited Super Chip, and an Amiga 500 with a v8 motherboard plus Kickstart 3.0.
Once again we'll watch newly-released video documentary, "Growing the 8-Bit Generation" -- this time part 3.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo

Ah, thanks for that. I want to buy the full package and support the developer.

Ray Carlsen mailed back my VIC-20, and I received it a few days ago.
He has upgraded it with a socket for the CPU (so I could put in a different processor chip), a built-in Computer Saver, and the internal s-video modification. Those mods, along with the older mods for Jiffy-DOS and a reset switch, make this one sweet machine.
We'll look at this VIC-20 at the meeting, too.
