Howdy Fellow Commodore Users!

Hopefully you remembered that this month is when we move our meeting date to the fourth Sunday (June 27th), due to Father's Day.

Our elections were held last month, and the officers of 1998-1999 was re-elected for their offices in the 1999-2000 term. The only office without a nomination was the newsletter officer. Ed Gase has volunteered to help out with this project, but since noone has volunteered to help him out, I wonder if we really need to have a newsletter. Apparently, nobody in this club values this resource (not to mention have the status of being an officer of YOUR club)? If you feel otherwise, please bring up your concerns, or else this member benefit might cease to exist, or become less frequent.

Last month's meeting had a surprise to our Librarian, as the entire collection of files from Compuserve's Commodore Library was donated into our collection on ONE Iomega Zip Disk. Since Compuserve no longer has a Commodore forum that is accessible to Commodores (kind of crazy, huh?) this was deemed as an alternative to not having those files accessible to the Commodore Community at large. Need to know what is there? The index is large, three notebooks full, and will be provided to the Librarian, soon.

One of my internet contacts, (whom you have read in our newsletter) Robert Bernardo, informed me of a radio program being broadcast in California devoted entirely of C64 SID music. The collection is from a website called the High Voltage SID Collection. The site has 19MB (compressed) of SID music and it is still growing. That equates to approximately 125+ 1541 sides of music! This music is from the famous and not so famous C64 games and those wonderful Hacker Club intros. If you have access to a IBM Compatible or Macintosh, you can even listen to this radioprogram on the internet, every Tuesday night at 11ET (8PT). The address is:

Hard Hat Mack is the DJ for this radio program.

We will probably add the HVSC collection to our library, which can be played on a true Commodore 64 as well as emulators, if there is ample interest. Let your librarian know. For those with internet connections, the address for the High Voltage SID Collection is:

If you have nothing better to do on a hot muggy summer day, why not let your Commodore be your entertainer with this classic collection of music.
