  Panera Bread Restaurant

     In exhibits we'll have the first public showing of a production AmigaOne A1222+ running OS 4.1 Final Edition and Enhancer 2.2.  Check out how it handles its desktop!  Check out how it runs classic Amiga games and demos!  Check out how it runs OS 4.1 apps!

Happy Weekend after Commodore LA Super Show, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2:30+ p.m., Sunday, April 21, at

Panera Bread Restaurant
3590 W. Shaw Ave. (corner of W. Shaw Ave. and Marty Ave.)
Fresno, CA 93711
(559) 271-0104
http://www.dickestel.com/met_loc.htm

     For discussion, we'll talk about how Commodore LA Super Show went, the usual things - equipment failures, presentations dropped, presentations added, attendees, the mood of the crowd, etc.  Also we'll talk about our sister show, the June 22-23 Pacific Commodore Expo NW in Seattle, and even CLASS 2025.
     Like last month, we'll try out some of the latest C64 games (Lock 'n Chase, Hermanos, Good Knight, Harharagon, Night Mission Pinball Extended, and more) and VIC-20 games (FiZZ, Chlopodia, Mars Planet Patrol, Petscii Breakout, Railyard, Victris #64738). And we'll check out some brand new Amiga disks-of-the-month from The Other Group of Amigoids (TOGA).
