Steve Punter (programmer of WordPro & Punter protocol) did a talk at last 
TPUG meeting on the 17th of January.

Leif Bloomquist (creator of C64 Telnet BBS http://home.ica.net/~leifb/bbs/ & 
first Internet enabled multiplayer C64 game was also in attendance.

It is awesome to meet some of these folks.

Toronto area remains still fairly active for Commodore hardware & software 
development.
