Southern California Commodore and Amiga Networkers Road Trip

Greetings Program. I took a road trip to check out the November 14, 2015 Southern California Commodore and Amiga Networkers, AKA the Scanners meeting.

Below are a few of the pictures and notes that I took during the meeting which took place at the Panera Bread Restaurant in Northridge, CA.

I had my minty fresh C64 Club SX-64 Executive Computer on hand along with one of Jim Brain’s EasyFlash 3 cartridges. You can also see Mario’s Amiga 1000 booting up Kickstarter 1.3:

Here we have Robert Bernardo from the Fresno Commodore Users Group (FCUG) discussing the A.L.I.C.E. Amiga Laptop Prototype that was showcased at AmiWest 2015:

It appears the game Choplifter is being played on the Amiga 1000 computer or is it coming from the SX-64? Dun Dun DUN!!!

Released February 25, 2015, at the meeting we tested out the new Commodore 64 Donkey Kong Junior port for the EasyFlash 3 cartridge. It’s pretty cool and arcade perfect!

Playing a little Space Taxi on the Commodore SX-64 computer, which is also being displayed on the big screen:

Due to limited space the Commodore VIC-20 and the Plus/4 computers didn’t get hooked up, but that’s ok, the 2 SX-64’s and Amiga 1000 received lots of love.

A big “Thank You!” goes out to Robert Bernardo for the invite to attend the Scanners meeting. It was a lot of fun hanging out with other Commodore and Amiga Geeks.

I guess the only thing that wasn’t fun about the trip was all the crazy SoCal freeway traffic getting to the actual meeting, but for the love of Commodore computers, it was worth it.

As most of our Commodore Friends know, the last Official Commodore Computer Club meeting took place back on December 5, 2014 and we’ve been on hiatus shortly after that meeting, however that’s going to be changing in the near future, so stay tuned!

In closing, “Thank You” to everyone who continues to support the Commodore Computer Club, AKA the C64 Club. It’s greatly appreciated.
