Title: Commodore Vegas Expo in less than 2 weeks!
Post by: RobertB on July 06, 2015, 11:08:28 AM
Less than 2 weeks until the show and excitement is building!  Gather your gear, finish your programming, and get on over to Las Vegas!  CommVEx awaits with the best group of computing friends coming from California, Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, the East Coast, and farther!  Plan for an intense 2-day experience... 3 days if you include Friday set=up.  Don't forget the show's special guests -- CBM engineer Bil Herd, CBM insider Leonard Tramiel, and C= and Amiga developer Jim Drew.  Don't forget the show's presentations and hands-on exhibits.

     Be sure to visit the CommVEx website at

I never understood how people afford to go to these events.

I guess you have to be born rich.

Priorities bro. Priorities.

Besides... not like a pauper has ever been able to afford much of a personal computer hobby. Especially the Amiga!  Moreso today!   :)

I work three jobs, 16 hours a day, and haven't taken a vacation in three years.  Or, as the other poster said, priorities.  :p

Bil Herd came by to visit for a few minutes in the early evening.  He'll be back for a 1 p.m. talk on Saturday and hang with us for the rest of the weekend.  He invited Leonard Tramiel to come in at 1 p.m., too.  We finally got out of the CommVEx room at tonight at 1:20 a.m..

Remember the room is open at 7 a.m. for set-up, and the show officially begins at 11 a.m..
