Hi,

Actually I have never had a Commodore Brand computer die
on me, but many of them ended up in the trash. My only pc
that died on me was an Otrana, it was a small portable back
in 1981 that had a Z80 processor and a 8088 that ran in
DOS emulation mode, the Z80 ran CPM.

Computers that ended up in trash when I moved from Panama
City, Florida to Pennsylvania.

Commodore 64 and all its programs (over 1000).
Commodore Amiga 1000 (Wife didn't know any better and trashed it.
Commodore 128 had only about 100 hours use, than I bought my Amiga 1000.
Three Compags from 450mhz to 800mhz.
Four 586 and pentium PC's.
One Atari.

See what happens when you forget about computers that you
have in the garage and tell wife that all computers in the
garage should be trashed. I forgot about the Commodores out
there on the shelf.
