    From rbernardo@iglou.com@3:770/3 to All on Thu Jan 4 23:22:11 2018
    Happy New Year, C= and Ami comrades!

    The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, Jan. 13, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

    Panera Bread Restaurant
    19662 Nordhoff Street
    Northridge, California
    (818) 407-9400

    For the meeting, I'll bring A.L.I.C.E. (A Laptop Incorporating a Classic Experience) laptop again with its AmiKit X, OS 4.1, and Windows 10 modes. Also
    the new C64/VIC-20/Plus4 game disks from BinaryZone.org return again.

    Hopefully, I will bringing in more C= gear to give everybody, courtesy of Rolf M. of Ventura (yeah, I'll be in Ventura on Friday night). For everybody to peruse is the new book, "Commodore: the Amiga Years", from author Brian Bagnall. It covers CBM
    from the time CEO Jack Tramiel left to about 1987. Not only does it cover the Amiga computer but other computers like the C128, the Commodore LCD, the Commodore 900, and more. Also, expect to see a few film clips from the new movie, "The Commodore
    Story".

    As always, bring any Commodore or Amiga items you wish to share!

    Truly,

    It's a slow starter but around 100 pages in it gets interesting IMHO.

    Heh, no slow starter for me, because I have the previous book. :)
