TPUG meeting and World Of Commodore
« on: October 18, 2006, 11:39:40 PM »
Tomorrow night is TPUG's next meeting (www.tpug.ca). TPUG is the second oldest commodore user's group. There are two separate meetings one for Commodore items and the other for Amiga.

The Amiga group will discuss various topics such as the World of Commodore coming up in December in Toronto. There will also be user demonstrations and typical user group type conversations and activities.

Meetings are held every third Thursday of the month: October 19, 2006 is the next one ;)

I just crawled out from under my rock a few months ago. I attended my first TPUG last month. It was smething else!

I am looking forward to hearing about what speakers they have lined up. Last year they had Jim Butterfield! Remember him from Compute!

It's a little smaller than in the past, not the 50,000+ in attendance, but it brings back memories. If we end up with some nice news from Amiwest, this WoC could be the best in years ;)

This used to be the biggest Amiga fest around... ah, back in the day.

There are more C64 people there: about a 2:1 ratio, but that was my first meeting after the summer break.

I will be there tomorrow for sure.

I am hoping to hear good things from Amiwest which will invigorate the community.

What town are you in? I live north of Newmarket.

Where are you from Defender?

I will post any info I get concerning the WoC for this december.

Last year they held it in the basement of a church -- not exactly the Internation Centre It was held in before.
