Cool. Thanks. Get to see what everyone looks like.
Craig's presentation must have been the bomb.
I had that Datel Burst Nibbler. Didn't work well for me though. Is it
supposed to be good? Maybe I just didn't know how to work it.
Good pics!

Yes it is, and yes he did. I got pictures of his KIM setup, but the only
reason I didn't put them up is because I had pictures from a previous expo
(SWRAP 2004) on my site. Looking at that, though, there is only one
picture and it's not so hot. I've added a couple to the ECCC page. You
are right, KIM is an important part of our C= history, and Jack is always
willing to share his knowledge on the subject.

And better still, it was fired up this time, with a Windows machine acting as its terminal. First time I'd
seen an operational KIM.

Now I am jealous. The KIM-1 is the only Commodore (MOS) computer I've never
seen running. At least I've been able to fool around with KIMplement, thanks
to you.
As for the expo, I'm hearing all kinds of positive things and it looks like
it was a really good time. Well done, Jason.

Working, running KIM-1's regularly show up/are displayed at the
Vintage Computer Festival.
Join us at the FCUG table
at VCF 9.0 Nov. 4-5,

Perhaps it is time for a VCF North to compliment the East, West, Midwest
and Eurpoean festivals. I'm confident there would be enough interest with
Toronto and the high-tech areas of Ottawa/Gatineau and Kitchener/Waterloo
within driving distance. I think I will contact the organizers and see if
there's any interest.

Speaking of KIMplement, a new version is overdue. I'm trying to optimize the
CPU core (20% speed improvement), and implement some other feature requests.
I just have a higher-priority project that needs to get done first.

It was indeed really cool to see one running. I got a snapshot of it
booting Microsoft Basic. And yes Jason, I'll email you the link to my
picture album once I get it online.

I take it it's the game? How's that coming along?

Actually, it's a photography and mapping project, nothing to do with the
Commodore (needs to get done before a particular event).
The game has been a bit stalled since the art is the rate-limiting step and
I'm not a great artist. It took a long time just to do the art that was in
the released demonstration.
