Hello Leif and to everyone that attend the TPUG meeting on September 18th. I 
just want to say that the XM1541 cable worked perfectly and I am happily 
working on my Robotech game now. Thank you! Thank you Leif! As for the meeting, 
I had such a blast and that im definitely interested in joining TPUG. You guys 
were great and completelyblew me on how the C64 can still hold some revelance 
today.Even in a world filled with PC's with 64-bit processing and gigabytes of 
Ram and GHz speeds. You proved to me that tinkeringwith computers and making 
use of what you have is more important than the overblown power that is 
literally wasted IMHO in today'sPC's. So im eager to join up with TPUG and 
become a member. However I want to pay it in person at the next TPUG meeting if 
possible. I just don't like mailing cheques in the mail or PayPal as I was once 
a victim of identity theft and im careful with my personal info now. As for the 
meeting it was very good except I
 have one gripe andthat is that there was too much focus on the Commodore 64 
and noattention to other commodore products such as the Vic 20 and commodore 
PET's. I love these older machines, especially the PET's as they weremy first 
computer. Just wondering if anyone thought about portingthe Lynx browser to 
work on the Vic 20 or CBM PET computer's.Just a thought, as Lynx is a text 
based browser and it would allowVic 20's and PET's to surf the web in theory. 
Just a thought. I hope next time I can formally introduce myself to all of 
youthat attended. See you at the next meeting! Rui
