Merry Christmas, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2+ p.m., Sunday, Dec. 18 at  --

  Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
  2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
  Fresno, California
  (559) 227-1686

     For discussion, we'll talk about the 35 year history of our club and show early FCUG newsletters.
     Because it's Christmas, naturally we'll look at holiday demos and games for the Commodore 64 and Plus/4.  For the VIC-20, we'll try drawing Christmas pictures with Minisketch, 8K ram expander, and a Flexidraw lightpen.  And because one of the VIC-20's has a R65C02 processor, we can finally try out the cartridge, MOSES: The Assembler of the Ages (which requires a 65C02).  In Amiga matters, I'll bring in the AmigaOne XE G4 with OS 4.1 Final Edition and Radeon HD 4650 video card.  (Hmm, what Christmasy item can I run on the A1?  :) )  As usual, we'll try to get to the items that we did not cover in the November meeting.

          Truly,
          Robert Bernardo

P.S. If I can get 5V out of the C128, there will be a demonstration of Jason "Pyrofer's" new RGB digital-to-VGA adapter that goes directly to a multi-scan VGA monitor without the need of a scandoubler/flicker-fixer.
