Happy CommVEx month, C= and Ami comrades!   
      
   The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is   
   Saturday, July 22, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at   
      
   Panera Bread Restaurant   
   19662 Nordhoff Street   
   Northridge, California   
   (818) 407-9400   
      
   I'll be talking a bit about Commodore at the May Maker Faire in San Mateo and   
   the June Pacific Commodore Expo in Seattle. The big topic will be the July   
   29-30 Commodore Vegas Expo! In fact, by the time of our meeting, my car will   
   be packed with most of    
   the C= goods I need for CommVEx. :)   
      
   Though member Mario will be absent, I think Richard will be bringing in his   
   NTSC/PAL-switchable Plus/4. The expanded Amiga 2000 is already off to Vegas,   
   and so I'll have SX-64, Amiga 1200, AmigaOne G4, and PAL VIC-20 (the last two   
   going to CommVEx, too).    
   For the A1 G4, we'll look at a couple of DB9-to-USB joystick adapters from   
   Retronic Designs of Canada. We'll try to connect all through the newish   
   CommVEx projector - a NEC NP-400 with almost all the video inputs we'll ever   
   need. The Vampire 500 board    
   has not arrived in the mail, but if it should arrive by Saturday, then you'll   
   get to see it.   
      
   Once again I'll be going up to Pacific NW in mid-August, so if you have any   
   Commodore 8-bit hardware that needs repair by Ray Carlsen, bring it to the   
   meeting (I already have an Amiga 1070 monitor, a Commodore CM-141 monitor, and   
   C64 heavy-duty power    
   supply that need to be fixed.).   
      
   As always, bring any Commodore or Amiga items you wish to share!   
      
   Truly,
