Oh, my....Pets cost more than Commode Door 64....

Whenever I call Knology about an outage, I ask them if they minded going
back into the garage and plugging the Commodore 64 back into the wall so we
can have internet in Charleston, again....(c;

I had a 64 and the Vic-20 before that. Who would believe in this day
and age that we actually stored data and programs on audio cassette
tape at one time.

ASR-33 teletype with integral tape reader and punch!

I have Z80 software on paper tape for your teletype machine....(c;

I still have a binful of parts to repair tape readers, Chalco IIRC.

Used to have a bunch of stuff that the Canadian Navy flew in Arguses,
they were really modern, used metalized mylar tape. Kind of pretty for
Christmas decoration in the shop, silver on one side and shiny blue on
the other. I shudder to think how many millions of dollars worth of
code we had strung on the ceiling.

I bought my father one of those when it came out. He didn't like it, so I
returned it.
