Receipts

Receipt for my Commodore 64 and my second Vicmodem (I got the first for free when I opened a bank account).

Brochures

Brochure containing a list of all authorized dealers as of Spring, 1983. (Shown: front/back cover and first two pages of 22 pages total)

User Manuals and Books

Fun facts from the Commodore PET user manual (dig that crazy lettering!):

"The potentials of your PET are virtually limitless"

"The computer software, or operating instructions are contained in a fixed memory. (Called Read-Only-Memory) This allows both the first time user and the sophisticated user to use the PET with impunity."

Impune away!

Notes I wrote at the end of the PET user's manual.

Survey from the back of the Commodore PET user's manual (ca. 1980). I retyped it (on a manual typewriter) so I wouldn't have to rip the page out of my manual. For some reason this was preferable to making a photocopy.

I don't remember if I ever sent it in. And I never did figure out how the WAIT statement works.
