Happy Valentine's Day, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 1+ p.m., Sunday, February 17, at  --

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

This month is video digitizer month!  We'll play around with four video digitizers for the C64 - ComputerEyes, the Print Technik Video-Digitizer, Video Byte II (including Super Explode V5.0), and the Scanntronik Video Digitizer.  Photography the C64 way!  Perhaps I'll even bring in a printer so that we could have hardcopies of the video captures.  To see some pics of the video digitizer hardware, go to

     Speaking of video, we'll have the world premiere of our amateur SX-64 commercial, a tribute to the original SX-64 commercial which you can see at

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5PygDf6E94o . 

Last month was the 30th anniversary of the SX-64, and at that time we filmed our tribute.  Look for our amateur video soon at Blip.tv and at Youtube.com
     Delayed from last month, Louis will show us how to rebuild a classic Atari joystick with new parts.  Up for discussion will be plans for the July 27-28 Commodore Vegas Expo and other shows happening this year.

          Truly,
