   the CIVIC 64/128 club of Ventura, California and the Diablo Valley Commodore   
   User Group of Walnut Creek, California.  Not this time!  Because it is the   
   20th anniversary of    
   Wheels 64/128, the compatible OS for GEOS, we'll watch an on-line video of it   
   in operation.  For the VIC-20, we'll run the new game, Pyrotech, and the new   
   demo/game, Dr. Ultra + Snake.  For the Plus/4, we'll have the disk magazine,   
   Lone News 21.  For the    
   C128, we'll try out Manic Miner 128.   
   >      In hardware, I'll show off the relatively-inexpensive SD2IEC from Jason   
   Micari of Australia.  Then we'll try out the hit of the Sunday Maker Faire,   
   the Tech Sketch Music Port, software and a large keyboard that connects to the   
   user port of the C64,   
    advertised as a "music synthesizer and multi-track recording system".  The   
   Amiga 2000 returns with its 68040 board @ 28 MHz, DKB MegAChip for 2 meg Chip   
   RAM, 40 megs Fast RAM, Video Toaster, OS 3.1, and dual disk drives, this time   
   upgraded with the    
   latest WHDLoad and more games, courtesy of the installation work of Duncan   
   MacDougall of The Other Group of Amigoids.

   As it's a 3D weekend, we should all play 3D C64 games to celebrate :-) Oh, and   
   it's Towel Day on Friday as well.
