Happy Springtime, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to1+ p.m., Sunday, March 21, at
El Bajio Restaurant
2320 N. Blackstone Ave.
Fresno, California
Note the change in our meeting place for this month.
This month we have a special guest coming all the way from Toronto, Ontario, Canada; it's Leif Bloomquist, Commodore programmer and enthusiast extraordinaire! He'll be bringing library CDs of the Toronto PET User Group to sell. Prepare to ask him about Commodore, TPUG, Toronto, or Canada in general! :)
In keeping with this meeting's Canadian theme, we'll looking at the VIC-20 programs on cassette from Canadian Tire - programs such as Depth Charge, Rocket Command, and Miniature Golf.
As if that's not enough, we still have leftover programs from last month that we did not get to - Wolfman for the C64 and Micrograms' Super Student programs for the C64.
More copies of David Haynes' Commodore Archive DVDs will be distributed as will be the latest newsletter.
Whew!

Today's meeting went well. Dick Estel picked up Leif at the Picadilly Inn Airport where I left him last night; they were both there at our meeting place when I arrived. Lots of talk about TPUG, Leif's projects, our projects, Canada... and then the presentations. Leif got to play around with the Hamtext cart, and member Roger gave him a quick rundown of the cart. Leif presented some of the programs on the Canadian Tyre VIC-20 tape, and I presented the Super Student programs for the C64. Then Leif played around with the Wolfman adventure game for the C64. Dick took photos, which I am sure will be posted on our website.
Afterwards, I took Leif to the Blackie Gejeian's 51st Annual Autorama (hot rod show) and spent an hour there before I brought him to the Greyhound bus station. I saw him off as he took the bus back to San Jose.
Truly,

With all this talk about Hamtext for the VIC-20, I had to find something for the C128. Here's morse.128 at
