SWRAP 2005 was historic for Jim Brain's rollout of QuantumLink Reloaded, the online service formerly known as Q-Link. It was just amazing for people to log on with their original screen names over a decade after the sad night that Q-Link went dark in 1994.

I was lucky enough to win a QuantumLink Reloaded polo shirt in the raffle. Left to right: Jeff Ledger, Jim Brain, Cenbe.
 

Elwix of Style, hypnotized by 6502 assembly code as usual.

Jim Butterfield talks with Dave Haynie (right), one of the original Commodore engineers. Dave brought some extremely rare Amiga prototype boards and gave a talk on the history of Commodore. He also autographed my copy of his DVD The DeathBed Vigil, about the final days of Commodore!
 

The premiere of Must See DTV, the first ever demo for the DTV, by Style. It uses a new technique developed by Six called cblast.

Jim Butterfield, Commodore spokesperson and educator, still codin' after all these years!
 

The famous animatronic cat, a toy that Jeri Ellsworth picked up before the after-party and hacked to be controlled from a Commodore. You had to be there...

...but if you weren't, here are a couple of videos... and some source code! See also this CSDb entry.
