I'm really glad you could make it Brian!!

Really appreciate your assistance on my spare (2) 4032's too :D

Thanks to the guys for bringing more chips and pop over too...now the wifey seeing all the extras left over will think I've been a junk food pig while she was gone :lol:

Thanks to my friend Al who brought over (2) Commodore Monitors for the taking too 8) There was a lot of Commodore product leaving the house last night (wonder if the neighbours saw and what the heck they thought was going on :lol: )

I can't believe how great all the guys were that came over. Very easy to talk to, no Igos, just laid back fun guys that share the same interests!!

Golan you're a hoot man with your humour :D

Leif will post some pics soon of the event....

I gotta turn this into a pile-on and add my thanks to our gracious host. Last night was a blast and I learned a lot of new things...

1. It's worth driving to Barrie in a blizzard when Centallica throws a party.
2. It's impossible not to have fun when you get a bunch of retro computer and video game nuts together.
3. There's a Lode Runner for the VIC-20! Holy moly! I've been playing it all day and it's really hard.
4. I stink at pinball.
5. Andreas, Leif's son, is already 'one of the guys'. :)

Thanks again, Brian. I had a wonderful time and I really hope you can make it out to a TPUG meeting sometime.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

Some masculine names from around the world:

Joktan: "small" in Hebrew
Tufayl: "small child" in Arabic
Cowessess: "little child" in Ojibwa (Native American)
Gutxi: "little" in Basque (not verified)
Vaughan: "little" in Welsh

Odhrán: "little pale green one" in Irish. It doesn't sound so good.
