Title: Nearly time for the July 26-27 CommVEx v4
Post by: RobertB on July 15, 2008, 12:30:47 PM

Greetings, C= and Ami enthusiasts,

     With less than 2 weeks to go, things are ramping up for the Commodore Vegas Expo v4. All the exhibits are being gathered, all the raffle prizes are being counted, and all the disks and videos are being inventoried.  Too many systems to get ready - PET 4032, NTSC and PAL VIC-20s, NTSC and PAL C64s, NTSC and PAL C128Ds, A500, A1200, and AmigaOne.  My level of stress rises as each day passes, the fateful weekend ever getting nearer!

     We have a good number of presentations this year and presenters coming from far and wide, such as Loadstar's Dave Moorman of Holly, Colorado and Amiga Forever's Michael Battilana from Venice, Italy!

     For more information about CommVEx v4, go to http://www.portcommodore.com/commvex and for the frequently-updated info, go to http://www.commodore.ca/forum and click on ComVEX.

     It's still not too late to book accomodations at the CommVEx hotel, the Plaza Hotel & Casino.  As of today, a standard room was going for $48 a night for Friday and Saturday and $33 for Sunday night (not including room tax).  Go to http://www.plazahotelcasino.com

        Go CommVEx!

Ah, the good old days. Just spent a gruelling weekend patching together pieces from systems past in order to rebuild my old workhorse A2000. I thought the '040 was bad, but it turns out the issues that sent it to the garage 4 years ago were all caused by a failing harddrive. I was able to steal a good sized drive from a light-duty Sun, and it's operational once more.

Assuming I can find/install all the software, it'll be at the expo with OS3.9, Toaster 4.2, and both AMax and a Bridgeboard to play with.

If only I could get a ZII graphics board... (anyone want to barter?)

Yeah!  If you make it to the expo, we'll clear space on a table for your set-up.  I'd like to see it in operation.
