Happy Valentines, C= and Ami aficionados!   
        The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to   
   2:00+ p.m., Sunday, Feb. 18 at  --   
      
     Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant   
     2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)   
     Fresno, California   
     (559) 227-1686   
      
   In addition to the Plus/4 and VIC-20 platforms at the this month's meeting,   
   Alex says that he will be bringing in his Draco Casablanca (Amiga-based).    
   Last seen several months ago, this time the machine is in fully-working   
   condition, and Alex will go    
   over its features.  Just in case he doesn't show up, we'll bring in a classic   
   Amiga 500 and run some goodies, like Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit and the   
   Trojan Lightpen.   
        For the Commodore 64,  it's time for virtual reality... virtual reality   
   with the VR64 glasses and accompanying program, Street Defender!  Developed by   
   Jim Happel, “the VR64 is the world's first virtual reality goggle for the   
   Commodore 64.”  In    
   Street Defender, earth's cities have been invaded by “green exoskeleton bug   
   warriors.... Mankind has set up Street Defenders on every corner to fight the   
   invaders.”  Punch, throw knives, shoot bullets, throw grenades, and collect   
   power-ups.   
        With Maker Faire 2018 coming up in May, it looks good that there will be   
   a Classic Computer's exhibit there, and we'll talk about having interactive   
   Commodore, Amiga, and Texas Instruments TI-99 4A (!) set-ups for the Maker   
   Faire attendees.   
      
             Truly,
