Commodore CBM 8032
An ancient, but functional, Commodore CBM 8032. The first computer I had ever used was one of these back in 1981. Learned Waterloo Basic (a structured Basic) on it. Picked this one up locally many years ago but it just sat around collecting dust and taking up space. Gave it away to a "collector" who's now trying to sell it for $2400, good luck with that, but at least maybe if someone thinks it has that kind of value, it won't end up in a land fill or recycled. Picture was taken the morning I gave it away. The keyboard wasn't fully working so I was trying to type something timely - Canada had just won it's first home gold medal in the men's moguls.
