I Had a Commodore PET
The Commodore PET was my first computer. I purchased it in August 1978 for about $1200 Cdn. It had 8K of RAM (what was I going to do with all that memorty?) and a 9" 40x25 display. I still have the chiclet keyboard and the hacked tape deck in box in my computer room. My first major upgrade to that machine was the MTU Visible Memory 320x200 pixel graphics display board. Those were the fun days of microcomputing.
