Chocolate Commodore cake

The guys at the last FCUG meeting gave me a chocolate Commodore cake (courtesy of Goodies Bakery in Visalia).  Yum!  There was too much left-over, and so, the next day I brought it to school and let the students devour it.  :)

A quartet of C64 video digitizers

ComputerEyes from 1985
Print Technik Video-Digitizer from 1986
Video Byte II  with Super Explode V5.0 from 1989
Scanntronik Video Digitizer from 1990
All four of the video digitizers
For the February 17 meeting of the Fresno Commodore User Group, we are trying out the four classic C64 video digitizers pictured above, from the very first one that I know - ComputerEyes - to the last, most sophisticated one - the Scantronnik Video Digitizer - which scans in red, then green, then blue and puts the 3 images together to form one, colored picture.
