G+_George Kozi Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Originally shared by Allen “Prisoner” Firstenberg Come here my PET I am staring at this with awe and trying to justify to myself that I should get it when available. I'm failing... but it is sorely tempting. The PET was my first computer. Oh sure... I played with the TRS-80 and the Apple ][+... but I was a Commodore guy. Before the Amiga... before the C-64... even before the VIC-20 was the PET. I learned how to program on it. I learned Assembly on it. I even partnered with my best friend to build hardware for it. It was my word processor and my spreadsheet. It printed invoices for my father with software I wrote. It played music. It sits in my closet today, not ten feet from where I am now. I may need to get it out, dust it off, and turn it on to see its green phosphorous display boast about the 32K installed, and that it was ready to take my commands. Somehow, a smartphone with the name just wouldn't be the same. But I'm really tempted to give it a try anyway. http://www.wired.com/2015/07/commodore-smartphone/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Randy Hudson Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Several companies have gotten hold of the rights to the name over the years. Nothing really useful has ever come of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
