ISO Amiga nerd at PaCommEx, I felt like there was a long-distance connection... Me: Skinny nerd in orange Commodore shirt, went "aw" at your mention of SCCC group only having two members. You: gave a great talk on the Rejuvenator. In search of Commodore nerdery, awesome 8/16 bit camaraderie, and ???.
Ha, ok, maybe as a "missed connection" that was a bit over the top, but seriously (what? me be serious?) I didn't get a chance to say "hi" afterwards 'cause others were busy doing the same. Totally did not know of your quest to get the Rejuvenator project going (or about its existence at all!), so thanks for that talk. I'll catch part 2 on YouTube later, totally interested in that, but I was talking with other friends who had stopped by. Augh, so much cool stuff, three ring circus kinda thing. Still hyped about PaCommEx! I don't think my arms will ever be the same, lugging 75 lbs. of stuff up on the Sounder train.
PSCUG is still a thing, now that I have a few leads on a venue (University of Puget Sound campus library is a very good possibility) in Tacoma we might, like, actually meet more than once every six months.
I think I mentioned in an earlier post about my friend Gordon's SRCS group (Seattle RetroComputing Society) which ostensibly meets in Redmond... but it's a thing, too. It's more generalized for all old computers and things of "ooh, shiny!" nature, though there are some Commodore/Amiga nerds in it.
So... *waves from Everett* Gonna head back to Seattle tomorrow to visit with my uncle who I haven't spoken to in 5 years for no actual good reason other than "Oh, I'll do that soon." Ha.
Hope you're enjoying the post-show high like I am! Met a handful of folks interested in local meet-ups and I didn't even hog all the limelight. Told a few about your forum and group! It's a small enough community everyone needs support.
