Happy beginning of school, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2+ p.m., Sunday, August 16 at --

          Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
          2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
          Fresno, California
          (559) 227-1686

This month we'll review this year's the Commodore Vegas Expo, including watching some raw video footage from the show, and we'll discuss the bigger, better, badder CommVEx for next year.
     In our hardware and software presentations, we'll try out the new Mini Commodore VIC-20 Ram Expander (32K), along with the new Boray Gammon game and the new Pluto demo. For the Plus/4, we'll view the artsy pictures from Botticelli Bilderdisk 40, and if I can find the PAL Plus/4 (but not the Peter Hanson seriously-modded Pal Plus/4), we'll install cooler-running, less power-hungry EPROMs for the old Kernal, BASIC, and 3+1 ROMs. In Amiga, the CDTV returns with black CD-1253 mouse, CDTV keyboard, floppy disk drive (but not the black CD-1411 disk drive which is somewhere in storage), and a variety of games.

          Back at work,
          Robert Bernardo

P.S. A rare Amiga cousin is being brought in, too. Prepare to take photos!
