    COMMODORE FREE producers

    A frustrating thing about the magazine is the way you constantly mix up news and reviews instead of having sections for vic, pet, c64 etc. I only read the c64 sections and do not look at the other sections as I have no interest in them.

    COMMODORE FREE: Hi thanks for the comments; well the magazine as it says
    caters for all machines, I think the majority of readers are interested in all aspects of commodore hardware and software, I know I like reading about anything Commodore relate, unless it's that group of singers, I am sorry I
    draw the line there.

    Years - to be released

    It's been a long time in coming, and there was publishing delay after delay, but now Brian Bagnall's new book, "Commodore: the Amiga Years", is set to be released on July 1. This is confirmed by Brian's website at

    variantpress.com/books/commodore-the-amiga-years/

    and by the latest e-mail from amazon.com which I received a few days ago and which had this link -

    www.amazon.com/dp/0973864990/ref=pe_259560_29109160_pd_re_dt_lm6

    The book not only tells about the Commodore Amiga but also the Commodore 8-bit computers which CBM built after 1984, the year at which Brian's previous book, "Commodore: a Company on the Edge", had stopped in the history of the company. Commodore: a Company on the Edge is still available, for example at

    www.amazon.com/Commodore-Company-Edge-Brian-Bagnall/dp/0973864966/

    I've pre-ordered my copy of Commodore: the Amiga Years!

    A fine book to show at CommVEx 2013,

    GANGNAM_64-STYLE
    *************************************

    This is a mini demo.

    Contains scrolling text and a static image but the gangnam style music in SID format! Actually sounds better than you think, And While the demo may not have the fancy animated Dancing style of Psy it does have 3 people posing in one
    of his signature dance moves

    Gaming Party 2007

    Back on July 12, 2007, after the E3 Expo in Los Angeles, Commodore Gaming had
    a party to celebrate their Commodore Gaming PCs that had just come out. Not only did they show off their gaming PCs, but they also exhibited a C64 and PET which the partygoers could use. For the party, they invited several C= luminaries -- Seth "Naughtyboy" Sternberger of 8 Bit Weapon performed his music, and CBM engineer Bil Herd and engineer Jeri Ellsworth spoke. "Commodore Gaming Party 2007" can be found at
