Cafe Bravo sounds good to me, look forward to catch up with some fellow Adelaidean Amigans!

I think in the first instance getting together informally is good, and then we can decide after that whether we want to have a community centre room hired or similar based regular event that allows us to bring machines, etc. I missed out on the user group thing when it was most popular, and with such a small Amiga community in Adelaide, it would be good to get something happening locally so we can help each other out and learn more about our Amigas.

Catcha,

Good stuff Epsilon, agree.

Looking forward too it...all being well we should have about 8 attendee's.

So everyone seems happy with August 4th and Cafe Bravo on the Parade at Norwood - is everyone available for dinner, or is lunch the preferred option?

They dont exist, I settled for "tolerates me being a geek and finds my geekness occasionally useful".

I am winning her slowly over to the Geekside tho, we now own 3 cleaning Robots (1 about to be sold tho leaving a Neato XV-11 & iRobot Scooba 380) and she does use most of my gadgets despite being in need of major convincing to let me buy most of them.

I am having a lot of fun training our cute little 14 month old daughter in the ways of the geek; she loves gadgets like remotes, ipad, iphones and even knows how to start our Neato Robot off on its cleaning mission!

Ellen Page was on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson a few weeks ago, and mentioned that she often looked in pawn shops for Sega Genesis gear...

@djos,

I notice from your signature that you have a GBS-8220 scandoubler and flickerfixer, does this work well? I'm especially interested how it works in interlaced modes, have you been able to test these?

I give mine about 3.5/10 in non interlaced mode... I can't imagine it scoring better interlaced...

its usable, its bearable, but it really isn't great. If you have no other option, it is a lot better than composite video.
