Happy Spring, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2+
p.m., Sunday, March 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. This time, we look at
part 3 of the newly-released film, "Viva Amiga: The Story of a Beautiful
Machine." Also I'll have 
information for member Louis about his CommVEx presentation on modding the
Plus/4.
     In hardware, we'll try out the Final Expansion 3, Rev. 11, for the VIC-20.
We'll examine the SwinSID Ultimate for the C64 and C128. For member Brad, I'll
bring back the Kim Uno (KIM-1 replica), and perhaps he can figure out how to
use it. Member 
Bruce may be bringing back his Amiga 2000 for us to replace the battery in the
system. I will be bringing in the A2000 which will be at Maker Faire and at
CommVEx. Refurbished by Duncan M., this one is loaded with a Blizzard 2060 50
MHz. board, 128 megs 
of Fast RAM, 2 megs of Chip RAM due to MegaChip, SCSI controller board with 8
megs of RAM, NewTek Video Toaster, Digital Processing Systems Personal TBC,
A2065 Ethernet card, Digital Processing Systems Personal Animation Recorder
(PAR), OS 3.1, SCSI CD-
ROM drive, 4 gig SCSI main hard drive, 500 meg SCSI hard drive for the PAR.
     At last month's meeting, we flailed around with the Bear Essentials and
the Chalkboard Powerpad for the C64. This month it returns, but no more
flailing, because now we have the instructions in order to use the program with
the Powerpad. :)

     Truly,

anyone to have.
