Happy summertime, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 1+ p.m., Sunday, July 15, at  --

     The Pizza Pit Restaurant
     2705 N. Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Princeton)
     Fresno, California

This month we have a rerun (for those who missed it) presentation of Media Player 128 by Hydrophilic.  Hydro asks for comments on his creation.  Then we'll look at Martin Brunner's C128 Dual Monitor demo.  Get ready to score the demo!
     Then we'll examine two classic, rarely-seen bits of software for the C64 -- first, CCI Sub Warfare and CCI Subwar 64, the granddaddy of commercial C64 submarine simulators (long before GATO, Silent Service, Up Periscope!, Sub Battle Simulator, and Red Storm Rising),
and second, Gemini: the Ultimate Disk Copier by Final Source Software Company.
     Under new items, we'll watch Richard Bayliss' Escape from Zaphod, a game written with the 3D Construction Kit for the C64.
     Finally, for the Amiga, it's time for the game, Space Spuds, a 3-D game used with the Haitex X Specs 3D Stereoscopic Glasses.  Watch the enemies fly towards you!
     This is the big meeting before the July 28-29 Commodore Vegas Expo.  Final details and questions about the show will be ironed out.  Also, later that afternoon/evening in a (secret) Fresno location, RB Productions will be filming CommVEx presentations for those members who want to present but cannot attend CommVEx.  :)

          Truly,
          Robert Bernardo
