Happy almost CommVEx time, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2+ p.m., Sunday, July 24 at  --

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

Note that our meeting is one week later than usual.
     During lunch, we'll finish watching the video documentary, "Growing the 8-Bit Generation."  Also we'll also watch the trailer for the new Viva Amiga film.
     For discussion, everybody will have a chance to give their last suggestions/comments/observations before the July 30-31 Commodore Vegas Expo v12.  Also I'll have an oral report and photos from my trip to the Pacific Northwest which includes a visit to C= repair technician Ray Carlsen and a visit to the Commodore 64 Users of Greater Victoria (a.k.a. ViC 64), the C= club of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
     For the fourth month in a row, the Chalkboard PowerPad returns, this time with the music-composing program, MicroMaestro.  For the VIC-20, we look at the Micro Vicious, a music synthesizer.  From the Amiga 1200, we'll play some sweet MOD tunes.  For a change of pace, we'll try out the new Pac-man clone, Pac-Pac for the Plus/4.  We'll also punch the buttons on the Kim Uno, a modern clone of the classic KIM-1.
