Couple of photos before the Pacific Commodore Expo NW 2026

Friday, June 19, was set-up day for PaCommEx 2026.  I arrived just after 4 p.m. and stayed until 9 p.m. in order to set up the room and the hardware.  Alone for the first 2 hours, I was joined by Stephen Jones of the Interim Computer Museum, who helped connect all of my gear.  Without his help, I would have been there longer!

My Commodore/Amiga gear done. Now waiting for others.

Some source code from Busted Boulders for the C128

We commiserate over those who have passed during the year.

All slides/short animations done in Scala

Aw, a couple cancelled out.

Thanks to those who did present, though!


I should ask for this and convert it to .MP4.


Entries included 4 .MODS, 2 IFF's, 1 Wild, and 1 C64 demo.

C128 game, Busted Boulders, is a Breakout-style game.

The colors don't display well in the camera shot.

3 bouncing balls look more like oblongs, due to camera slowness.

Commodore + Amiga at the Fresno State Science Carnivale 2026

On February 28 at the Science Carnivale of California State University Fresno, I had a table of computers under the banner of Classic Fresno Area Computers! (CFAC!), which is a continuation of Maker Faire exhibits, Classic Bay Area Computers! (CBAC!), Classic Los Angeles Computers! (CLAC!), and Classic Sacramento Area Computers! (CSAC!).  For exhibit, I had an Ultimate 64, Commodore Amiga 1200, AmigaOne A1222+, and an Atari 520ST (well, to be classic, I had to have other computer manufacturers  :)  ).  Hundreds of people came, many of them children!

Here are photos from the day.  (All photos, except the one of Bob Burns and me, courtesy of Marcia Moore).  To see an event video taken by the ABC30 t.v. news crew, see below.  Look quick to see a few seconds of our CFAC! table.

If only I had more space for more computers,
