They had both kinds of storage on different Commodore 64s, this one with cassette drive, and the other one had a hard drive the size of the keyboard (which, in this case, IS the computer).
The old Commodore logo; and some shocking apostrophe abuse. And yes, that is card stuck over the screen. (There was a USB cable on the back, but it wasn't plugged into anything.)

This was my favorite car at the Mecum auction in May. With relatively slow Plus-X in the camera, my focus patch was teeny tiny, and it made shooting this car very challenging. So I opted to get close. The two shots in this series of the whole car are noticeably soft because of this.
Out of the box! Level of detail is absolutely brilliant!
My latest buy. I could not believe it when I saw these in the display cartons. I initially saw one then quickly saw a second so I snapped up both!
When the police version was released a couple of years ago scalpers bought up all of the stock and flogged them on eBay for crazy prices, so I suspect the civilian Commodore will go through same way...unfortunately. I completely missed out on the police Commodore because of grifters, I can only think I wasn't the only one.
I'm proud to say I paid the RRP of AUD$3.50 each for these two at Woolworths. I definitely will never sell them, I'm keeping one for myself and gifting the second one to a good friend of mine who also collects model cars.

Easily one of the most famous, if not *the* most famous, Americans in Japanese history, Commodore Perry is known for "opening" up Japan to trade with the West in 1853-54. Never mind that Japan wasn't really "closed", but, sparing you the fine details, the coming of Commodore Perry marks serious dramatic changes for Japan, and is a key contributing cause, many would argue, to the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate. Doesn't get much bigger than that.
