        We continue to celebrate the 40th anniversary our club!  Last month I

        O.K., I relented.  You'll get some rubies... the C64 text adventures,   
   Ruby Rap and Ruby Chalice.  Then we'll look at some Christmasy software and   
   demos for for the C64 and VIC-20.  And there is the new Attack of the PETSCII   
   Robots for the C128.   
      
        On the Amiga side will be the unveiling of the Amiga 500 with Vampire 500   
   v2 accelerator.  It was my first Amiga computer, given to me by Dick Estel   
   back in 1995.  Throughout the years it's gone from a very basic machine to one   
   with an outboard 1010    
   disk drive and ECS (its configuration for Classic Gaming Expos and Vintage   
   Computer Festivals of the early 2000's) to its new Vampire state as a very   
   mean computer with 149 MIPS (million instructions per second) compared to the   
   original .56 MIPS and 128    
   megs of Fast RAM compared to the original with its 512K of RAM.   
      
        For discussion, we'll have the election for officers and more talk on the   
   Commodore Los Angeles Super Show 2022.   
      
             Merry Christmas!  Happy New Year!

   P.S. Again I will be driving in from Stockton, and I hope I will not be   
   delayed by the fog.  If I am delayed, I'm counting on v.p. Roger to carry on!
