A defender of American Freedom and pioneer of a new nation.

"Commodore Isaac Hull, USN, (1773-1843)
Isaac Hull was born in Derby, Connecticut, on 9 March 1773. Early in life he joined his father, a mariner, on local voyages and longer trips to the West Indies. During the mid-1790s Hull commanded several merchant vessels, losing some to French privateers. He was commissioned a Lieutenant in the new United States Navy in March 1798 and distinguished himself during the next two years while serving on board the frigate Constitution in the undeclared war with France. When troubles with the Barbary powers heated up in 1802 he went to the Mediterranean as First Lieutenant of the frigate Adams. Hull later commanded the schooner Enterprise and the brig Argus, receiving promotion to the rank of Master Commandant in 1804 and to Captain in 1806. During the next few years he supervised the construction of gunboats and in 1809 and 1810 was successively given command of the frigates, Chesapeake, President and Constitution.
Captain Hull's time on Constitution was eventful. He took the ship on a European cruise in 1811-12, returning home before the War of 1812 broke out between the United States and Great Britain. An enemy squadron closely pursued his ship off the East Coast in July, but Hull skillfully evaded them. On 19 August 1812, Constitution encountered the British frigate Guerriere at sea and pounded her to a wreck in an action that electrified the Nation and demonstrated that the small U.S. Navy was a worthy and dangerous opponent for Britain's otherwise overwhelming maritime might.
Isaac Hull commanded the Portsmouth Navy Yard at Kittery, Maine, for the rest of the War of 1812, then briefly served on the Board of Navy Commissioners in Washington before taking over leadership of the Boston Navy Yard. During 1823-1827 he commanded the U.S. squadron operating along South America's Pacific coast. Commodore Hull's next assignment, as Commandant of the Washington Navy Yard, ran from 1829 until 1835. Between 1839 and 1841 he commanded the Mediterranean Squadron. Rendered unfit for further service by age and ill health, he spend the next two years on leave. Commodore Isaac Hull died at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 13 February 1843.
The U.S. Navy has named five ships in honor of Isaac Hull, including: USS Commodore Hull (1862-1865); USS Hull (Destroyer # 6); USS Hull (DD-330); USS Hull (DD-350); and USS Hull (DD-945)."

Most 80's freaks know this one. A "Basic" computer with a lot of power, for that time. This device made programming language "Basic" famous. It was also in color.
On tapes, of course :-) ...in original boxes, with original manuals etc. I even have the cashier's receipt for Tau Ceti (120 FIM in 1987 would be about 31 EUR today).
That thing on bottom-left corner is Print Technik Video Digitizer module for the C64. It digitized analog video stills to pictures with 4 shades of brightness and resolution of 160x200 pixels.

Davenport, Iowa. The Commodore was once across the street from here. That place was sold re-opened as the Opendore. Neighborhood bars around here have pedigrees and provenance, hereditry lineages that are kept track of.
I saw one old place change hands several times till it was literally named on the sign: "Paul's, Chuck's, Helen's Tap".
