Happy Thanksgiving, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to
2+ p.m., Sunday, Nov. 20 at --
Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
Fresno, California
(559) 227-1686
For discussion, I will have an update on the progress of next June's
Pacific Commodore Expo NW.
In hardware we'll examine a Ray Carlsen newly-repaired Blue Chip 128
disk drive. In software we'll look at various new or rediscovered
VIC-20 games -- It Game from the Grave, Final Quest, VICrossroads,
Hat Trick, and Track&Field. (Roger, bring your various RAM
expanders!) For the Plus/4, it's Bombrunner. For the C64, we'll
play around with the various games picked up from last Saturday's SC3
Arcade Party. For the classic Amiga, we'll try out various games and
applications picked up from the October Amiwest Show. Plus we'll try
to get to the items that we did not cover in the September meeting.
:)
FCUG celebrating its 35th anniversary,
Robert Bernardo

Merry Christmas, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to
2+ p.m., Sunday, Dec. 18 at --
Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
Fresno, California
(559) 227-1686
For discussion, we'll talk about the 35 year history of our club and
show early FCUG newsletters.
Because it's Christmas, naturally we'll look at holiday demos and
games for the Commodore 64 and Plus/4. For the VIC-20, we'll try
drawing Christmas pictures with Minisketch, 8K ram expander, and a
Flexidraw lightpen. And because one of the VIC-20's has a R65C02
processor, we can finally try out the cartridge, MOSES: The Assembler
of the Ages (which requires a 65C02). In Amiga matters, I'll bring
in the AmigaOne XE G4 with OS 4.1 Final Edition and Radeon HD 4650
video card. (Hmm, what Christmasy item can I run on the A1? :) )
As usual, we'll try to get to the items that we did not cover in the
November meeting.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo

P.S. If I can get 5V out of the C128, there will be a demonstration of
Jason "Pyrofer's" new RGB digital-to-VGA adapter that goes directly to a
multi-scan VGA monitor without the need of a scandoubler/flicker-fixer.

Happy New Year, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to
2+ p.m., Sunday, Dec. 18 at --
Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
Fresno, California
(559) 227-1686
For discussion, we'll talk about June Pacific Commodore Expo NW and
the July Commodore Vegas Expo. Also we will peek at the .PDF of
"Commodore: the Amiga Years" which is the follow-up to the book,
"Commodore: a Company on the Edge". This .PDF not only talks about
Amiga but also the fabled Commodore 65, the Commodore 900, and the
Commodore LCD.
It seems that a couple of C=/Ami movies are being released at the
moment. For your viewing enjoyment, we look at part one of "Viva
Amiga: The Story of a Beautiful Machine".
We aren't forgetting hardware; in addition to the usual club C128
set-up, the VIC-20 returns with more games as does the AmigaOne XE
G4. Also for club member Louis, we'll try out an Amiga 2000 with OS
3.1, 2 gig SCSI hard drive, and 4 megs of Fast RAM.

Happy Valentine's Day, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to
2+ p.m., Sunday, February 19 at --
Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
Fresno, California
(559) 227-1686
For discussion, we'll talk about the May Maker Faire, the June
Pacific Commodore Expo NW, and the July Commodore Vegas Expo.
Once again, we look at the newly-released film, "Viva Amiga: The
Story of a Beautiful Machine," part two this time.
In hardware, we'll examine the new Ray Carlsen power supply for the
VIC-20 (early model) and the 3D-printed, VIC-20 cartridge case for
the Final Expansion 3, Rev. 11. Member Bruce may be bringing back
his A2000 for us to examine in detail. And because I don't expect
rain pouring down, I'll be able to yank out the AmigaOne XE G4 out of
the car. ;)
If we can get them on disk or on SD card drive, we'll try out
VIC-20 - $B, Maxi-Edit, and Cask Jumper
C64 - Bear Jam for the Chalkboard Powerpad and The Bear Essentials
Plus/4 - various demos and slideshows
Truly,
Robert Bernardo
