#811 — Speccy meetup on April 23rd, Wellington, NZ

Are you in, or near, Wellington, New Zealand?

In recognition of the 30th Anniversary of the Speccy, I'll be heading along to the Bristol in Cuba Street after work on the 23rd April.  I'll probably even put on an ill-fitting Spectrum T-Shirt (well, it used to fit, but it seems to have shrunk in the closet, honest) and see about dragging along my +2 or something.

There is actually another event - Nerd Nite 10[1] - on there at that time, but it seems an appropriate venue.  I've asked if I can do a short 5 minute Speccy presentation, but haven't had that confirmed.

I asked my Wife if I can go, and she told me to get real. I can see her 
point, as I've got work the next day.. And I'm in Scotland. Tch!

Still, I hope your evening goes splendidly, Sir.

Toodle-pip!

The evening went well, and despite testing everything carefully last night,
- The RAM Turbo failed from the start, and I didn't have SJ1 compatible joysticks.
- The DivIDE worked beautifully, but wouldn't read the CF card I had my Divideo clips on.
- After a couple of hours of running demos and games on the +2, it started crashing. 

I had a dozen or so people come up and talk about it, including a guy who wrote "The Dungeon Builder" and "Icicle Works" - http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekpub.cgi?regexp=^Richard+Parratt$
