Visiting The Other Group of Amigoids

Meeting at Mountain Mike's Pizza

Members have their kids visit, too.

Not C= or Amiga but a modded Atari 7800

I have visited The Other Group of Amigoids (TOGA) off and on for many years, but I don't recall ever posting any photos of a meeting.  Well, that flaw has been remedied!  :)  These pics are from the December, 2019 meeting.  For more information on TOGA, go to

At the December 7 Downtown Los Angeles Mini Maker Faire 2019, we had our computers on exhibit for the hundreds who passed by.  Thanks to SCCAN members Jerold Kress and Mario Luppi for their support at the show!  It was a big success!  For a report on DTLA Maker Faire, go to

A Quick Trip to Amsterdam!

Trevor, Marvin, Chris, and Robert...

...at the fancy Van der Walk Hotel

Saturday at the distillery

Lemony one on the right was good (no, not the glass of water)

Too many of the lemony ones!

Chris finds the Amiga Boing in the distillery!

Leo, Chris, Marvin, Marcel, Trevor, Robert, Omar

The canal near my hotel

Another look down the canal

Birds!

Those are not the Amsterdam houseboats!

The breakfast/lunch diner a few blocks from my hotel

With a full English breakfast!

The wall of waving cats at HappyHappyJoyJoy

Supperclub before the performances begin

Last night at a nearby restaurant

I wonder how well it goes around corners?

On Oct. 31 I left California for a quick visit to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.  Objective -- to meet up with Commodore and Amiga enthusiasts (who were also my friends).  The whirlwind trip had me busy on Nov. 1-3, and on the 4th and 5th I was able to slow down and see the sights around the neighborhood of my hotel, the Hotel Flipper.  On the 6th I was back in California!

A Visit to the Seattle Commodore Computer Club

Which way to the meeting?

An original Amiga 1000 mouse

With the metal ball... but it tracks terribly!

In one room, huddled around to play Archon

It's down to the last two players!

In another room, hacking to happen

Free stuff from Ray Carlsen!

Pizza time!

The delicious pizza went fast!

Geoworks running on the Commodore PC20-III.

The C= PC20-III in all its glory!

GeoWrite now on the PC20-III

And now Atari GEM on the PC20-III!

Operating on 2 machines - SX-64 and A2000

Fine soldering required

Disassembled A3000 brought in to connect to monitor

More freebies - disk box and Tunnels of Armageddon

The Compaq powers up but nobody has a DOS disk.

I visited the Seattle Commodore Computer Club on Sept. 11, 2019, in the trendy Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, USA.  Here is what I captured on that evening.  My thanks to Eric Hill, leader of the club.
