A lot of Commodores!


Last night I drove from my home town of Dexter to Grand Rapids Michigan to pick up a bunch of new/old Commodore PET computer I purchased off eBay. Round trip was about 250 miles which is a very long drive in my pick-up truck. I wanted to take the 944, it has cruise control, but there was no way I was going to fit 4 PET computers and two 8050 dual drive units in the car. The individual I purchase the computer from, John, was a very friendly fellow. We chatted about the good old days of computing while loading up the truck. I think his wife was happy to see them go. The weather was starting to turn so I had to cut the visit short. With my precious new find secured in the bed of the truck I headed home. I skirted several thunderstorms but my cargo made it home safe and dry.
