Looks like a great time! If only you guys were closer, I’d be there for the next one for sure.
Thank you. We always have fun at our meetings and events that’s for sure. If you’re ever in the area on vacation or a business trip, drop us a line to meet up sometime. We can setup a special meeting if needed to accommodate you.
I would sure like to join you guys sometime for a meeting. I was wondering if there could be any way that I could get hold of that graphics demo you have pictured in the ninth picture from the top. It was a cool demo for a time machine game that I saw many years ago. I saw it in the Commodore 64 game rental place in Gresham which was located by Shari’s Restaurant.
Hi Eric. Feel free to come join us at our next meeting. We get together the first Friday of every month. Sometimes we have special meetings too, so keep an eye on the site for upcoming events, etc.
As for the Commodore 64 demo you mention, sure, we can set you up with a copy of it no problem.
Thank you for the invite. I will make a point to come to one of your meetings this summer. I am looking forward to it. And thank you very much for your willingness to help me get hold of that demo. Have a good one.
Not a problem. Looking forward to having you come to a future meeting.
One of these days, I have got to get out there for one of these meetings. Of course, I’ve been saying that since the Retro Gaming Expo last year.
Yeah Jerry, get on that and come out to a meeting or two
