Sunday was a quieter day for PaCommEx and the Living Computers: Museum + Labs.  Nonetheless, the Sunday attendees were just as curious and enthusiastic as those who attended on Saturday.

Back to California in the stuffed station wagon,

Friday 9 June 2017

A few pics from the Friday PaCommEx set-up

After 2 hours of set-up, 7 systems need to be connected.
Some pages on the C64 in this book!
Telling about what you need to get a C64 going
Since this book is from 2006, the C64 DTV was hot.
A book that goes up to 2012 in Amiga history
From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, June 9, I hauled out boxes, computers, and associated hardware out of the station wagon and into the Living Computers: Museum + Labs.  Fortunately, the museum people set up the tables, though I still had to connect the power strips and extensions.  More set-up on Saturday before the 10 a.m. opening of the museum.

The museum gift shop this time around had two C= related book.  The Retrogaming Hacks book had a dozeen or so pages devoted to the C64 but nothing else C=.  The Future Was Here book was totally devoted to the Amiga; I'm tempted to buy that one.
