I second that! I remember being in grade 6 and using a PET in my sisters' classroom. The teacher (Mr. West) taught me to type in: 


M 0000 FFFF
and I'd just watch all the numbers scroll by! LOL! Then he let me play Miner 49er! :oP

Hey Leif,
What if some of the PET guys did a PET/CBM thing for at least part of the night. I don't have any of this stuff but was first computer I used before I had my own and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Keeping the P in TPUG is a good thing.

Hi all,

Just to mix things up a bit:  Would there be interest in an "Other
70s/80s Computers" night at the March TPUG meeting?  (March 19th)

I've got some Tandy gear that's been sadly neglected, and I know many
others at TPUG have other retrocomputing interests but no venue in
which to showcase them.  I for one would be seeing some of your other
systems.

To keep it somewhat on topic, we could always compare/contrast them
with Commodore machines from the same era.

Comments, discussion?

Regards,
-Leif
