Colin James lives up to the hype at the second of five straight sold-out Commodore shows
The Commodore's springy dance floor took a serious beating as James' rowdy guitar work was driven along by a crack band.

The 99/4A deserved better. First 16-bit home computer, and it died in a grudge match: Jack Tramiel never forgave TI for gutting Commodore's calculator business in the 70s, so he priced the VIC-20 to bleed them. TI quit home computers in 1983 after losing hundreds of millions.

In 1982 a 300 baud modem cost at least $200. Commodore sold one for under $100, and the way it got there was simple: it refused to dial the phone. A modem turns digital bits into…

Mike Commodore blasts Scott Arniel to oblivion as Jets lose nine straight after 7-0 shellacking by Hurricanes
Mike Commodore’s issues with Scott Arniel go back to Columbus. The former D-man played 20 games for Arniel in 2010-11, was scratched repeatedly, asked for a trade and was waived in January 2011.

Commodore’s management took the Amiga 500 profits and spent them on bringing out a line of underpowered x86 business machines. The Amiga team therefore had less resources and the planned 28MHz 030 chip was replaced by a much cheaper 14MHz EC020

My first home network / personal computer network device. These were $60 in 1984.
Could #Overclock connection from 300 bps to 450bps if you could find anyone willing to accept a 450bps on their end ;)
1200 bps modems for roughly $200 to $550. As a kid, I was on the 300 bps for $60 at first.
