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.
Visible to the right is a CBM 2040 disk drive, each disk could hold up to 170k!
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?

My Commodore PET. Model 4032 - 32K of RAM. It still works sometimes... sometimes - it just makes a buzzing sound instead of turning on. I don't know what the deal with that is.
Me, my Commodore 64, and my Commodore 128.
I'm not sure exactly when this was taken, but the print I scanned it from was dated "02/88" so I'm guessing 1987 or very early 1988. I hadn't started high school yet.
Old Statue of Commodore Perry
Put-in-Bay, Ottawa County, Ohio
Taken on July 5th, 2016
This Tuesday, my dad and I went over to Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island. It's always a joy to go over there. I thought about the things I wanted to do over there, and the first thing I thought of was take a picture of the statue of Commodore Perry in the visitor's center. I wanted a picture of the Commodore and the Memorial behind him. We arrived and I attempted to find an angle where the whole top of the monument was showing and the commodore would be pointing at it. Unfortunately with the way the window was made, I couldn't have both at the same time. I tried up, down, left, right, and this right here was the closest I could come. He's pointing as if to say "we did it, men."

With my folks in the process of moving, all sorts of old gems are coming out...like this old Commodore 64C. It is still in the original box, and as best as I can tell, still works. This is actually the second one we owned. I wish we still had the old one...not that I would do anything with it of course!

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.

The Commodore 64, commonly called C64, C=64 (after the graphic logo on the case) or occasionally CBM 64 (for Commodore Business Machines), or VIC-64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International.
Volume production started in the spring of 1982, with machines being released on to the market in August at a price of US$ 595. Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM, and had favorable sound and graphical specifications when compared to contemporary systems such as the Apple II, at a price that was well below the circa US$ 1200 demanded by Apple.
During the C64's lifetime, sales totalled between 12.5 and 17 million units, making it the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. For a substantial period (1983–1986), the C64 dominated the market with between 30% and 40% share and 2 million units sold per year, outselling the IBM PC compatibles, Apple Inc. computers, and Atari 8-bit family computers.

In January 1981, MOS Technology, Inc., Commodore's integrated circuit design subsidiary, initiated a project to design the graphic and audio chips for a next generation video game console. Design work for the chips, named MOS Technology VIC-II (graphics) and MOS Technology SID (audio), was completed in November 1981.
Commodore then began a game console project that would use the new chips—called the Ultimax or alternatively the Commodore MAX Machine, engineered by Yash Terakura from Commodore Japan. This project was eventually cancelled after just a few machines were manufactured for the Japanese market.
At the same time, Robert "Bob" Russell (system programmer and architect on the VIC-20) and Robert "Bob" Yannes (engineer of the SID) were critical of the current product line-up at Commodore, which was a continuation of the Commodore PET line aimed at business users. With the support of Al Charpentier (engineer of the VIC-II) and Charles Winterble (manager of MOS Technology), they proposed to Commodore CEO Jack Tramiel a true low-cost sequel to the VIC-20. Tramiel dictated that the machine should have 64 kB of random-access memory (RAM). Although 64 kB of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cost over US$100 at the time, he knew that DRAM prices were falling, and would drop to an acceptable level before full production was reached. In November, Tramiel set a deadline for the first weekend of January, to coincide with the 1982 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The product was code named the VIC-40 as the successor to the popular VIC-20. The team that constructed it consisted of Bob Russell, Bob Yannes and David A. Ziembicki. The design, prototypes and some sample software was finished in time for the show, after the team had worked tirelessly over both Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends.
The machine incorporated Commodore BASIC 2.0 in ROM. BASIC also served as the user interface shell and was available immediately on startup at the READY. prompt.
When the product was to be presented, the VIC-40 product was renamed C64 to fit the then-current Commodore business products lineup which contained the P128 and the B256, both named by a letter and their respective total memory size (in KBytes).
The C64 made an impressive debut at the January 1982 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, as recalled by Production Engineer David A. Ziembicki: "All we saw at our booth were Atari people with their mouths dropping open, saying, 'How can you do that for $595?'" The answer, as it turned out, was vertical integration; thanks to Commodore's ownership of MOS Technology's semiconductor fabrication facilities, each C64 had an estimated production cost of only US$135.

Corman recently had a rail train on the property dropping new CWR at the Commodore Loop to replace the stick rail. This new piece of rail is dated 2019. Speculation was that it may have come from the Kiski Junction Railroad but that rail went to the South Kansas & Oklahoma RR.
1961 Büssing Commodore at Auto- und Technikmuseum Sinsheim, Germany.
Büssing was founded in 1903 and quickly became one of Europe's leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles.
After WWI Büssing acquired truck manufacturers Mannesman-Mulag and Komnick and in 1931 Büssing merged with NAG, the automobile division of electrical company AEG. The brand Büssing-NAG was used until 1950, when Büssing took over all of AEG shares. Büssing continued production until 1971, when it was taken over by MAN.
To keep the legacy alive, the "Büssing-Lion" was integrated into MAN logo
