COMMVEX 2019 PRESENTATIONS & GUESTS

Not to be confused with the Commodore Los Angeles Super Show (CLASS), SCCAN member Matt Brewster will hold a session in which he teaches the basics of using the Video Toaster on the Amiga!

Lenard Roach, editor of the Interface newsletter for the Fresno Commodore User Group, will talk about a suite of productivity programs he created for the Commodore 64.

Richard brings in his Amiga repair expertise to CommVEx! Ask him questions about your ailing machine!

Commodore enthusiast Saj appears again, bringing a table or two of music and video artifacts for the Commodore 64, like PETpix 2 and the new Koalamin! (Think theramin for the C64!)

Mario will speak about GEOS Megapatch v3.3r4 and show how it runs on his C128DCR system with CMD RAMLink v1.

Here is a video shot in 2001 at the UPCHUG (University Place Commodore Home User Group) meeting in Tacoma, Washington. Never seen before and thought to be lost, this video has past CommVEx attendee Jeri Ellsworth talk about the CommodoreOne. You'll get to see how her early efforts have developed into the machines we have today!

Also Peter Hanson, the Plus/4 king of England, speaks of the European Commodore scene, especially the Plus/4 scene.

Roger will have a video presentation on arguably the best C64 computer-aided design program, the German Giga-CAD+. Before there was Blender for other computer systems, Giga-CAD+ was introducing users to rotation, shading, and light sources! Interested attendees will receive a program disk and translated manual.

Jeff brings his musical talents to the Ensoniq keyboard, the keyboard that has an Ensoniq 5503 Digital Oscillator Chip which is a direct descendant of the 6581/8580 SID chip. Oooo, it sounds very SID-like!

Jeff Krantz, Las Vegas C= enthusiast, will show off various, sundry programs on his C128DCR.

Southern California C= enthusiasts Tim and Josh will be there with an Ultimate 64, MiST, and other devices.

In this never-seen video, the late Jim Scabery tells about his experiences being a Commodore dealer in the Portland, Oregon area in the 1980's. Up until the time of his death in 2014, he was still selling Commodore hardware and software!

For the after-show hours on Saturday night, attendees will get to see CBM engineer Dave Haynie strum on his acoustical guitar. Filmed at CommVEx 2009, Dave starts off with accompanying guitarist Yul Haasmann followed by Jeff Krantz.
