the CIVIC 64/128 club of Ventura, California and the Diablo Valley Commodore 
User Group of Walnut Creek, California.  Not this time!  Because it is the 20th 
anniversary of 
Wheels 64/128, the compatible OS for GEOS, we'll watch an on-line video of it 
in operation.  For the VIC-20, we'll run the new game, Pyrotech, and the new 
demo/game, Dr. Ultra + Snake.  For the Plus/4, we'll have the disk magazine, 
Lone News 21.  For the 
C128, we'll try out Manic Miner 128.

Micari of Australia.  Then we'll try out the hit of the Sunday Maker Faire, the 
Tech Sketch Music Port, software and a large keyboard that connects to the user 
port of the C64,
 advertised as a "music synthesizer and multi-track recording system".  The 
Amiga 2000 returns with its 68040 board @ 28 MHz, DKB MegAChip for 2 meg Chip 
RAM, 40 megs Fast RAM, Video Toaster, OS 3.1, and dual disk drives, this time 
upgraded with the 
latest WHDLoad and more games, courtesy of the installation work of Duncan 
MacDougall of The Other Group of Amigoids.

As it's a 3D weekend, we should all play 3D C64 games to celebrate :-) Oh, and 
it's Towel Day on Friday as well.
