The Commodore PET 2001-8. The 8 indicates an 8K model. The lowest memory specification was 4K. By itself, this system is simply known as the Commodore PET or Commodore PET 2001.
PET, as is popularly and incorrectly believed, does not stand for anything, not even Personal Electronic Transactor. It was actually named after the pet rock craze of the 1970s.
The Commodore PET was released in 1977, the same year as the Apple II and TRS-80 (Model I). All three were the first true complete commercial personal computers that started the revolution, but only the PET had the built-in monitor and cassette drive.
The PET's keyboard was unusual in that it was designed more like a calculator's keypad than a typewriter's keypad. This was due both to then Commodore President Jack Tramiel's desire to use existing materials in his supply chain, as well as acquiescing to his idea that since a home computer is a new technology, it shouldn't have to adhere to old paradigms. While interesting, the PET's keyboard was obviously not a hit with users and was soon replaced by a more traditional full stroke typewriter style keyboard, but at the expense of the built-in tape drive.
The Commodore PET features a version of Microsoft BASIC, which was licensed for a one time fee and used in all future Commodore products based around the same 6502 processor (Vic-20, C-64, etc.). Bill Gates and Microsoft would not make that same mistake again.
You can read more about the Commodore PET and many other systems in my upcoming book, or keep visiting Armchair Arcade. See you next time!

ABOUT THE SERIES
In June 2010 Michelle and I traveled to Philadelphia (and surrounding areas) for a summer vacation and to visit her extended family. I'd been to Philadelphia twice before, once in eighth grade and once during college but I only remember bits and pieces of each previous trip. The trip during college was during the 2010 Republican National Convention (I wasn't there for the convention) and I remember the entire city resembling a police state with police everywhere due to all the protests.
Anyway, it was great to return to the city and see some of the surrounding areas I hadn't explored before. We visited during a heatwave (90 degree heat with intense humidity which apparently is a little unusual in June but typical in August) but it was well worth the trip.

The trawler Commodore in drydock in Ballard at the Pacific Fishermen shipyard. The patches on the hull and designs and colours on the fence attracted me, as well as the way she dominates everything around her. Couldn't quite get the intensity of those patches with watercolour, maybe better done with opaque medium, gouache or oils—or oil pastel.

I picked up this Amiga 500 for about $4 USD. It starts but it get stuck in the first boot screen (the one with the floppy disk logo) any ideas of what to do?
Could this be a Holden Commodore SS spotted in the states? It had the Holden emblems on the front grill and on the rims. I didn't see any Chevy emblems which would make this a Chevy SS.

The Commodore Mine complex of four mine buildings above Creede was served by the railroad. In April 1891, the Commodore claim was staked by John C. Mackenzie. The mine consists of 5 levels with almost 200 miles of tunnels and underground workings lying within the mine. The photo shows portals and support buildings to the left of the ore house and chutes. The Commodore is the southern most mine lying on the Amethyst Vein and was last mined in 1976, a span of nearly 85 years of production.
Based on the general duties Commodore, these two cars will receive discreet lightbars and markings to blend in with traffic on the open roads better.
Commodore SX-64 displaying the Reddit r/retrobattlestations BASIC Week 2: Halloween Boogaloo code that I ported. Halloween is my favorite, if you couldn't tell. The yellow cart on top is a Chameleon cart which is a multipurpose utility cartridge that enhances the C64 greatly including giving you VGA output and an SD card slot.

Other than Rod K., my heroes of cool have got to be these guys. I can never look this awesome, even if I was standing behind a glowing cross and walls of Marshall amps.
Note: Some of you may know my misery regarding when Justice first came to Vancouver. I brought my wide angle lens and was denied by security because I had a "professional camera" (oh please). So tonight I brought my stalker lens and had a rematch with Justice hitting up the Commodore Ballroom. Sweet.
Old cinema opened 1930, closed 1968. Since then it's been a bingo hall, car showrooms and undertakers, it's now a storage facility.
A very late PET from 1982, the year Commodore discontinued the PET line.
It's a 4032, with 32kilobytes of RAM, and a 9" monitor.

How far we've come. I'm looking for the IE-488 cable needed to connect the drives to the computer, anybody got one hanging around?
