50 days until the 2012 Commodore Vegas Expo

[RobertB]

The 2012 Commodore Vegas Expo v8, a.k.a. CommVEx, is coming July 28-29 to the Las Vegas Club Hotel, 18 Fremont St., Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A..  Once again we are looking forward to a good show with an international group of attendees enjoying the Commodores and Amiga computers that will be exhibited.  Members of the Fresno Commodore User Group, Clark County Commodore Computer Club (of Las Vegas), the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network, and the Portland Commodore User Group (PDXCUG.org) will be swarming in.

We'll have a number of raffle prizes, everybody has a chance for door prizes, we'll have a sales table, and there is the freebie table.  We'll have the games competition for cash and more.  And we'll be busy with presentations of old and new software and old and new hardware.  That's right... new hardware which will be premiering at the show.

If our event is not enough to whet your show appetite, you can also wander off to Def Con ( http://www.defcon.org ) and get into really subversive hacking or to RollerCon
( http://www.rollercon.net ) and attend classes and watch the roller girls race around the track.

See you at CommVEx!

Hacking and commodore and roller derby, hmm? Just add a pinball convention and you couldn't keep Jeri Ellsworth away if you wanted.

Heh, the Pinball Museum is right there on Tropicana Ave.

If you come to our show, you would be our first visitor from Finland!

I am pleased to announce that Jim Drew, creator of more 60 commercial products for Commodore and Amiga computers in the 1980's and 1990's and CBM educational/support representative for Oregon from 1983 to 1985, will be telling stories of those days.  He may also be introducing his new product, SuperCard Pro.

Jim will have an exhibit table, showing off a development C128 from CBM engineer Dave Haynie, various PETs, 1541 disk drives with digital track displays, an A500 with the digital track display built-in, and other oddball C64's and Amigas that Jim used for development.

In addition, Jim will have a vendor's table in order to sell products, like stacks of parameter disks, disk notchers, Hesmon carts, EMPLANT boards, etc..
