Next FCUG meeting - Sunday, November 20

[RobertB]

Happy Thanksgiving time, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 1+ p.m., Sunday, November 20, at  --

     Dick Estel's place
     (a second e-mail with map directions will be
      sent to those who are attending)

Why the change in meeting place?  Because we needed a tranquil setting for our special guest, CBM engineer Bil Herd, who will be video-chatting with us!  Bil was involved in the development of the Commodore Plus/4 computer and was the lead engineer for the Commodore 128.
     We plan to record this event for later viewing, and Bil will have a live feed from his end of the chat; just go to

Estimated time of the start of the chat - 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time.
     We are still gathering questions for Bil, and even if you can't make the meeting, send those questions in, and we'll ask Bil.
     Naturally, in keeping with the nature of our special guest, we'll have a presentation of the C128 Video DAC, the hardware which connects the C128 to a VGA monitor in 80-columns and in all of its 16 colors.  We'll have a repeat presentation of the Megabit ROM adapter which adds 32K of programs into the empty socket of the C128.
     Even with all of this on our plate, we might have another special guest (or two) walking in through the front door.
     So though the end time of the meeting is 1+ p.m.., think more like 1+++.  And we wouldn't let attending members go hungry... there'll be pizza and soda, pizza courtesy of our good friends at the Pizza Pit Restaurant of Fresno.

          Truly,
          Robert Bernardo
          Fresno Commodore User Group
