    Hello !

     

    Please join us at World of Commodore 2023, Canada's largest Commodore computer expo.  It's being held at the Admiral Inn Mississauga, which provides convenient accommodations for those who are visiting from out of town.  The featured guest this year is Amiga engineer RJ Mical.  This is a two-day event, taking place on:

     

    Saturday - December 2, 2023
    and
    Sunday - December 3, 2023

     


    World of Commodore is organized by TPUG - Toronto PET Users Group, which was founded in 1979 and is the longest continually-operating Commodore users group in the world.  Members past and present include Commodore guru Jim Butterfield, legendary programmer Steve Punter, and renowned sensation Dave Bradley (RUN magazine columnist; YouTube's 8-Bit Commodore Man).

     

    Full details of the expo can be found here:

    We're looking for guest speakers, exhibitors, and vendors.  While vendors are required to pay a table fee, there is no table charge for exhibitors who are not selling any products or services; exhibitors pay only for general admission.  To reserve a vendor's table, please visit the website above.  To reserve an exhibitor's table, please email your request to:  info@tpug.ca

     

    Preference is given to guest speakers who are able to present in person.  However, we'd be happy to have you present virtually through Zoom if your project is something that retrocomputing fans would really enjoy.  Please get in touch by emailing:  info@tpug.ca

     


    Thanks for being part of the Commodore community !

    That looks like a lot of fun.  I am not in the area, but I wish I was.  I hope you'll post pictures of the show after it is complete. 

     

    Thanks for the well wishes.

    The WoRC website does have a gallery that shows a few pics from the 2022 event, and a few from the 2021 event.  As you can see, the 2022 event took place on a farm, inside barn buildings !

    It's finally here!  I'd like to extend an invitation to everyone in the Commodore community to watch and provide feedback on this preview of the independent film I've been developing called I Adore My 64.

    Since the film will focus on the incredible impact the Commodore 64 has had and feature the community that keeps its legacy alive, it seems only fitting to have the community's input on it.  Your thoughts and insights are welcomed and can be left in the comment section of the video.

    Please feel free to share it with other Commodore groups that you may participate in.  Additional exposure will only help the film as it ramps up toward a Kickstarter campaign.

    To stay up to date on its development visit:  https://www.iadoremy64film.com

  14. YOUR INVITATION: Zoom Chat with Leonard Tramiel - April 20, 2023 !

    in Atari History Discussion

    Posted

    Hi everyone!

    You're cordially invited to attend a Zoom chat with Leonard Tramiel on April 20, 2023.  The full details are found here:

    https://www.tpug.ca/2023/03/tpug-meeting-for-2023-april-20-leonard-tramiel-who-will-be-interviewed-by-nico/


    As most of you know, the Tramiel family founded Commodore in the 1950's, but left in the mid-1980's to form Atari Corporation after buying the business from Warner.  Under the management of the Tramiels, Atari brought to market the Atari ST lineage of computers, as well as video game systems such as the Lynx and Jaguar.  While at Atari, Leonard served as Vice-President of Software.

    Hope to see you all at the Zoom chat !
