Happy National Chinese Take-Out Food Day, C= and Ami comrades!
     The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network
is Saturday, Nov. 9, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

  Panera Bread Restaurant
  19662 Nordhoff Street
  Northridge, California
 (818) 407-9400

     In discussion we'll talk about the shows that happened in October --
the Rocklin Maker Faire, the Bay Area Maker Faire, and the Amiwest
Show.
     In hardware, we play around with the fully-working A600GS, the little
AmigaKit box that runs OCS/ECS/AGA games and sports the Amibench
desktop.  I can tell you the trials, tribulations, and quirks in
getting the A600GS to run.  The Ultimate 64 returns with the latest
C64 games, like Orbix and the Forgotten Forest 2.  The VIC-20 comes
in with the SD2IEC drive loaded with plenty of software.
     Feel free to bring your own machines and software to the meeting!

       Sincerely,
       Robert Bernardo

P.S. We may have extra, classic Amiga hardware coming in for diagnosis!

P.S. There was a C128DCR, a C64, a 1541, and a 1701/2 monitor at the swap meet!

     Tomorrow is set-up day for the Bay Area Maker Faire!  We'll have our tables in the vast Coal Shed 3.  With more table space compared to the Rocklin Maker Faire, we have more flexibility to set up the hands-on exhibits.  From my collection comes
