     We'll talk about the April 12 Los Angeles Maker Faire and especially about the April 26-27 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show.  CLASS is getting so near!  And the CLASS presentations' list keeps growing!  I'll talk about the reopening of Bernardo Studios just in time for filming the CLASS commercial.    Hopefully, v.p. Roger will inform us on his progress about running CP/M from a SD2IEC on the C128.  Also we have a GEOPaint disk to investigate; the user wants his graphics converted to .PNG's.
     On the AmigaOne A1222+, we'll look at the new games, Trapped in the Tomb and Evil Dungeon 3.  On the Ultimate 64, we'll look at the new game, Zookeeper.  With the Revision 2025 demoparty coming in mid-April in Germany, we'll also view various, amazing C64 and Amiga demos from Revision 2024.
