[RobertB]

Happy May, C= and Ami aficionados!

The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2+ p.m., Sunday, May 15 at --

Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant

2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)

Fresno, California

(559) 227-1686

For discussion, we'll have the latest news of Commodore and Amiga at the May 20-22 Maker Faire 2016 and the July 30-31 Commodore Vegas Expo v12.

Once again, we'll cover the various bits from the collection of Gerald Oborn, like MSD SD-1 and SD-2 disk drives and various, classic Commodore and Amiga software packages. Due to popular demand, we review another FCUG Disk-of-the-Month from 1991... yes, that's right... from 25 years ago! Hopefully, v.p. Roger will bring in the Chalkboard PowerPad with program, Leo's Links, and give us an update on refurbishing the hardware. For the VIC-20, we get to try out the Behr-Bonz 2015 cartridge from Francois "Eslapion" Leveille of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 127 VIC games on one cartridge! Even more for the VIC-20, we have the full cassette/disk version of the very fun shooter, "Pulse." As mentioned by a Pulse player, "Beware the Space Turkey!"

Last but not least, we'll watch part 4 of the video documentary, "Growing the 8-Bit Generation."

Plus news of another documentary about Jack Tramiel,
