Happy Valentines' Day, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to
2:00+ p.m., Sunday, February 16, at
Panera Bread Restaurant

This month we may have special visitors coming from the Sacramento
Amiga Computer Club! Make sure to give them a friendly Fresno
greeting!
For discussion we'll talk about the April 4 City of STEM science show
which is in Los Angeles, the April 25-26 Commodore Los Angeles Super
Show (CLASS), the Vintage Computer Festival East happening in New
Jersey at the same time as CLASS, the June Pacific Commodore Expo in
Seattle, the tentative Amiga 35th show for the Bay Area, and the
Downtown Los Angeles Maker Faire which is expanding to 2 days this
year!
In software we'll look at the only side-scrolling game for the
Commodore 128 in 80-column mode, Cloneimals, the original being
released years ago and now the improved 2020 version being released a
few days ago! Also we have the winner of the C128 80-column coding
competition, BucketWars! For the C64/128 we look at 1541 Ultimate II and
the 1541 Ultimate II+ cartridges. Also for the C64, we have another look
at the FCUG New Members' Disk and the new Shoot'Em Up Construction Kit
game, Spearhead. In classic Amiga business, we look at the Amiga 3000
which has been upgraded to the latest WHDLoad and with more games
installed into it, courtesy of Duncan M. of The Other Group of Amigoids in
San Jose. I'll show how I've been translating the German Pagefox manual
into English with the use of the A.L.I.C.E. laptop. (As of today, 33% of
the 69 pages translated!)
After the meeting, Bernardo Studios opens, and we'll be filming
Roger's CAD presentation for CLASS.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo

Happy almost Thanksgiving, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to
12:30+ p.m., Sunday, November 15, at
Panera Bread Restaurant
3590 W Shaw Ave. (corner of W. Shaw Ave. and Marty Ave.)
Fresno, CA 93711
(559) 271-0104

Note the shorter time duration of the meeting; this is due to the fact
that the venue is limiting our time there due to the Covid crisis.
This will be our first meeting since February! We will be meeting in
the covered patio, and we'll be seated socially-distant from each
other. Everybody should bring a mask. I'll bring hand sanitizer,
disinfectant wipes, and paper towels for everybody's use.
Because of the brief meeting, our agenda will be short -- take care
of November and December business, watch some C64 nuvies and play one
or two of the latest C64 games, like BoxyMoxy. Originally, I was
planning to bring the Amiga 600 so we could look at the classic
Deluxe Music Construction Set, but it will have to wait until a
future meeting.
Speaking of future meetings, a December meeting is not assured, due
to weather conditions. For the November meeting, it should be sunny
with temps at about 60 at our meeting time.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo
