Happy July, C= and Ami comrades!
     The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, July 20, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

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

     Note that we meet on the south side of the restaurant now, instead of the west side of the restaurant.
     We'll talk about what happened at the June 22-23 Pacific Commodore Expo NW in Seattle and also about the upcoming Rocklin Maker Faire, Amiwest Show, and Bay Area Maker Faire in October.
     In exhibits we'll have an Amiga 1000 with an Apollo Firebird accelerator running the newest Coffin OS.  In 8-bit Commodores we'll have the Ultimate 64 with the latest games.
     Feel free to bring your own machines to the meeting!
