Happy National Video Games Day, C= and Ami aficionados!

     For discussion, we will talk about the October 12-15 Amiwest Show in Sacramento, the October 14-15 and 21-22 Bay Area Maker Faire in Mare Island, and next April's Commodore Los Angeles Super Show in Burbank.
     It is GEOS time at our meeting!  The Mega65 computer returns, and we will run GEOS 65 (which was converted from GEOS 128).  The Commodore PC20-III returns, and we will run Geoworks Pro (a.k.a. PC GEOS a.k.a. Geoworks Ensemble).
     Not all is GEOS.  We will have some fun with the Commodore PC running Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Non-Medical Pain Relief (!), and ABC-Talk (ooo, that digital speech is very rough when going through the PC speaker).  On the club C128 (in 64 mode), we'll run the latest games and previews reported on Indie Retro News.  On the Amiga 600, we run some of the latest demos/games courtesy of our sister club, The Other Group of Amigoids.
     If we have any time left over (yeah... right...), we'll have a preliminary look at the C64 educational packages from Hayden Software, Light Lab and Temperature Lab.
         

          Truly,
          Robert Bernardo
