Happy Spring-like weather, C= and Ami comrades!   
        The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is   
   Saturday, March 5, from 2 to 4+ p.m. at   
      
        Panera Bread Restaurant   
        19662 Nordhoff Street   
        Northridge, California   
        (818) 407-9400   
      
   This month our topics of discussion include the Vintage Computer Festivalers'   
   exhibit at the May 20-22 Bay Area Maker Faire 2016 and presentations at the   
   July 30-31 Commodore Vegas Expo v12.   
        In software and hardware, we will try out the newish C64 game cartridge,   
   Bomberland, which is enhanced on the C128, and other new games, like Slime 64   
   and the Asteroids emulator. For the Commodore 128, we'll delve into CP/M   
   games. For the classic    
   Amiga (OCS/ECS), we'll play around with the Megalosound 8-Bit Stereo Sampler   
   and try to digitize some familiar tunes (and I won't forget to bring working   
   speakers this time). If Mario brings in his A1000, we'll examine how it boots   
   into OS 2.0/2.1    
   without the need of a Kickstart disk. We'll have the usual equipment, too -   
   VIC-20, Plus/4, SX-64, C128, Amiga 500, and Amiga 1200.   
        Finally, we'll view part 1 of 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.   
        Bring anything else you wish to share!   
      
             Sincerely,   
             Robert Bernardo
