Photos of my visit to 3 Australian Commodore/Amiga groups
« on: March 15, 2017, 06:41:27 AM »
Last September I went to New Zealand and Australia.  In Australia I visited 3 Commodore/Amiga user groups.  I was reminded that I didn't make a general announcement (though my Facebook friends saw right away when I posted the same photos there).  So now, here are links to the photos I took of those groups.

Great pics Robert, thanks. Looks like you had a fun time. Which City do you think had the friendliest people? ;)

All the groups were very accommodating!  The AUG meeting was the longest I had ever attended.  It started at 2 in the afternoon and didn't finish until 2 in the morning!  :)

Unless there's too much in which case things can go from too friendly to crazy in a short space of time. :)

@RobertB

Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
