On the Road

[RobertB]

     It's been a grueling schedule.  Last week I met Peter Hanson, the Plus4 king of England, when he arrived in Las Vegas.  Besides looking around Las Vegas, we met up with Al Jackson of the Clark County Commodore Computer Club (of Las Vegas) and talked about CommVEx, and I met up with the Plaza Hotel catering people in regards to CommVEx.  Then it was off to Los Angeles for the weekend - touring around Venice Beach, going to Univeral Studios, visiting the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and meeting up with filmmakers Rory and Jerald who filmed us for their documentary on Commodore users.
     After a few days of touring around Sequoia National Park and resting in Stockton, we are traveling up to Portland, Oregon on Friday, meeting up with Jeri Ellsworth on Saturday, visiting ACUG's Dave "Lord Ronin" Mohr on Sunday in Astoria, exchanging C= equipment with Ray Carlsen on Monday, and possibly meeting up with other C= users in the Seattle/Tacoma area on Tuesday.  Wednesday it's the long drive back to California.

I brought along the Fotios C64 games multicart that I received from Charles Gutman in order to demonstrate it at CommVEx.  I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but I will when I get to Lord Ronin's place on Sunday.

Done.  We talked about CommVEx and the video-conferencing which will be held there, her projects, my projects, and more.

...exchanging C= equipment with Ray Carlsen on Monday...

A successful exchange with Ray Carlsen.  I picked up two PET 8050 drives, two flat C128s, and the North American-power-converted 1551 drive from him, and I dropped off a SX-64 which comes up with out-of-memory errors and disk drive problems and a 1571 which "doesn't work".
     Ray informed me that he retired a few months ago.  I understood and told him that I'll be in that same spot in 6 years.
