...I have tentatively decided that we should put on CommVEx v3! This would be during the last weekend of July next year, which is the 28th and 29th. The major stumbling block for CommVEx v3 is getting a meeting room at a good price. My contact at the Plaza Hotel (the hotel being the venue for this ...

Our prospective CommVExer wants to donate a SuperCPU 64 for a raffle prize.

Not again!

Thanks, Jamie. We'll need help as CommVEx v3 gets closer.

Only 357 days to go!

Because we had a sufficient number of attendees at this year's CommVEx, because we broke even (covered the costs) of this year's CommVEx room, because people are calling for another CommVEx, I have tentatively decided that we should put on CommVEx v3! This would be during the last weekend of July ne...

After the Sunday show, some of us went to the Main Street Station Casino & Hotel for the buffet dinner there. Jeri Ellsworth, Bo Zimmerman, Eric Kudzin, Rik (?), and Earl and Ivy Williams then departed for parts unknown.

Door prizes on Saturday were a flat C128, two 1571's, a 1581, and a Dragon Boy handheld game (!).

We'll see part 2 of the video tomorrow. Yes, we saw the last part of the video today, and near the end of the day we saw most of Dave Haynie's Deathbed Vigil video which recorded the last day of CBM before it was closed forever. The Deathbed Vigil video came in a package as a special-edition DVD wi...

Tomorrow the SCPU 64 and Melodian. We've decided to give the 1581 as a door prize. The C64 DTV has been changed to that of a Hummer DTV modded by Jeri (she still does not have it ready but will mail it to the winner). The Melodian was raffled off to Nemer, the Hummer DTV was won by... well, I can't...

[quote="rbernardo"]Jeri showed up today and spoke about MPEG-2 video on the Commodore and the Hummer DTV.[quote]
At the side, Jeri showed how she controlled the Hummer DTV game, her proficiency only coming after more than 6 hours of practice on it!
