Howdy Fellow Commodore Users!

As I am writing this article, I'm watching the snow come down like crazy.

Earlier reports on the TV and radio indicate the snowfall will be the biggest of the season (correct me if I'm wrong, but Winter isn't over yet!).

I remember only a couple times we have had to cancel our CCCC meeting due to snow or bad weather conditions. During those level 3 snow emergencies, I don't really feel like I am a rebel to force myself to going to a Commodore meeting. I know some gasp at that thought, but I'd rather be alive for next month's meeting than to take a chance.

Fortunately for me I had a package in my mailbox the other day to while away my time indoors. I received the cartridge I mentioned in a previous article created by Francois. It is titled the Behr-Bonz VIC-20 Multicart. If your VIC20 is a game playing machine, you'll likely keep this plugged into your machine at all times. If you do other things with your computer, you might want to plug it into an expander so you can disable it. The bare circuit board is so small, plugging it into the cartridge port of the VIC20 isn't exactly easy. It's small footprint has the entire board inside the computer casing. Ecstatically the outward appearance of the VIC20 looks as if nothing is hooked in to the unit. You have to look into the cartidge port in order to actually see the card. Removing the card, I had to use a pair of tweezers to grab it and pull it out. There was little room for my fingers to get in and grab.

As to the number of games? There are lots of them. Some familiar, some not so familiar. I was going to list the games, but that might take more pages than the editor is willing to print. Instead I'll include the webpage for more information: http://www.8bitcentral.com/behrbonz.htm

I'll bring that to this month's meeting on March 20th at the Retirement Community. See you there (if the snow is melted by then)!

Keep on Commodoring!
