Hello from Silicon Valley, USA!

[Alloye]

Hello, everyone!

I'm a software engineer in the USA who recently decided to start my own vintage computer collection. It's been fun so far, and Amibay appears to be a great new resource to have at my disposal.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a bit about my history with computers and what I've managed to piece together so far. I think you'll agree that it's all about "keeping up with the Commodore."

1st Programming Experience: Commodore PET 4032
1st Computer Owned: Commodore VIC-20

Other Pre-PC/Mac Systems Owned:

• Commodore 64
• Commodore 128
• Commodore Amiga 500
• Commodore Amiga 2000
• Commodore Amiga 1200

Current Collection (All Working):

• Commodore PET 4032 (A+ condition)
• Commodore 2031LP Floppy Drive (A+ condition)
• Commodore Plus/4 (A+ condition)
• Commodore 2002 RGB Monitor (A- condition)

On the Way:

• Commodore Amiga 500
• Commodore 128
• Commodore SX-64

I'm especially proud of the PET w/2031. It's the oldest system in my collection and looks like it just came out of the box.

Take care,
Wayne

Hi Wayne!

Great to have you here. I've got quite a large C= collection, ranging from the PET to the A4000D. I have an 8032 PET, a 4032, and an 2001-8. The 8032 is the only one working 100% so far. The others are on my long list of retro repairs.

If you haven't done so already, you might be interested in buying the Toronto PET User's Group Library CD. It's got pretty much all the PET freeware plus lots of stuff for other 8-Bit C= machines.

I hope you enjoy your time here.

Heather
