   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, Feb. 21 at  --   
      
     Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant   
     2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)   
     Fresno, California   
     (559) 227-1686   
      
        This month we have a variety of new and classic items to try out.  In   
   December we ran out of time for the new C128 simulation program, Monty Hall   
   with graphics, designed by Robert "Hydrophilic" Willie, and in January we ran   
   into technical    
   difficulties for the latest version of SAM 128, also by Hydrophilic.  This   
   time they will be at the top of the presentation list, along with C128 Demo   
   Maker.  Then we look at new game, Slime 64, for the C64 and the newish   
   Asteroids emulator for the C64.     
   For the classic Amiga, we'll run the Trojan Lightpen with its Kwikdraw art   
   package, and then we'll run the Megalosound 8-Bit Stereo Sampler (darn, it   
   blows away the Sound Ultimate Xpander 6400 for the C64/128).  :)   
        In hardware we'll examine the 4 MHz. RS65C02 CPU which replaces the 6502   
   chip in the VIC-20 and the SmartBasic.net Null Phone Adapter which allows you   
   to connect two computers (e.g. Tandy 100 and Commodore 128) and allow them to   
   communicate to each    
   other via their respective term programs.   
        Finally, we'll use CBM-Command to make .D81 files from 1581 disks.  All   
   of this accompanied by the new C64 background chipmusic from "Disassembly   
   Language: Ambient Music for Deprogramming", 8-Bit Weapon's latest album.   
      
        Is this too much or what?!  :)   
      
             Truly,   
             Robert Bernardo

   P.S. Be prepared to see some bits from the newly-released video documentary,   
   "Growing the 8-Bit Generation", starring Jack Tramiel, Lenard Tramiel, Chuck   
   Peddle, Bil Herd, Al Charpentier, Jeff Minter, Andy Finkel, and Steve Wozniak,   
   among others.
