Re: Commodore Clubs? - Vancouver BC

Post by sandypaiement »

Please let me know if there are any Commodore 64 users groups in the Vancouver British Columbia area. I am interested in selling or even giving away a C-64, with 1541 DD, and some Computer Gazette magazines from 1986, 1987 which would be of interest to anyone using this old system.

I live in the Greater Vancouver area, British Columbia, and since I don't want to get involved in shipping, it would be convenient if someone in this area would be able to pick up directly.

Thanks.

Years ago there was a Commodore club in the Vancouver, B.C. area. This contact information is very old; perhaps it will give you a lead --

Happy October, PDXCUG Fans!

Just a friendly reminder that we'll be having our next meeting next week at our new location:
- Oct. 14 at 7:00 pm
- Old Town Pizza (this place is rumored to be haunted - perfect for our Oct. meeting!)
- 226 NW Davis St. (between 2nd & 3rd Ave.)
- See http://www.pdxcug.org for additional location information.

[The] meeting will be an important one - we will be discussing future activities, projects and going over some of the joystick switch issues and direction, as well as showing the completed prototype (way cool). If your significant other is remotely interested in Commodore fun & games, feel free to bring 'em along as well. Our group is open to all.

If you have anything you'd like to add to the agenda, now would be the time to suggest it. Or, if you want to make a presentation, let me know so we can schedule you in. Feel free to bring your Commodore items for Show & Tell, too - a group favorite!

(snip)

Have a great weekend!
Greg

Hello, PDXCUG Fans!

If you are unable to attend our meeting, we'll be chatting LIVE on CommodoreServer via Group Zork's chat interface. Please feel free to join us in the C64 room - you can use the Group Zork program to chat - here's how to get online with either a Comet64 or VICE: http://bit.ly/eKq5uP

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
IMPORTANT: NEW LOCATION THIS TIME - PLEASE CHECK WEB SITE

We're meeting somewhere new because:
- The group is getting bigger
- We need more space
- We need it a bit quieter in order to work on our projects (see agenda below)

Will this become our permanent home? We'll see - depends on what members say about it.

Next PDXCUG.org Meeting:
---------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, February 10, 2011 @6:00 pm
More info & location: http://pdxcug.org/meetings.asp


Agenda:
---------------------------------------------------------
This month's meeting will be a little bit different.

No presentations.
No guest speakers.
Lots of tinkering.

Bring any Commodore-type project to tinker with:
- Soldering
- Hacking
- Coding
- Exploring new hardware
- Repair
- Cleaning of equipment

Whatever you feel like working on - this will give you a chance to break out those old projects or the ones you've been putting off.

Oh - we'll also have plenty of working computers to play around with and to play games on.

I am going to do the following for my tinker time:
- modify my Commodore MAX Machine so that I can hook it up to my 1701 monitor.
- read some EPROMs from a strange Commodore card with my Promenade
- clean my PET keyboard
- repair a Commodore keyboard

Do you have something similar to do?

What you can bring:
---------------------------------------------------------
- Equipment that you want to share, diagnose, fix, or just show off
- Cool Commodore gear or software to show off
- Your significant other - plenty for all to do and enjoy
