The May 20 Fresno Commodore User Group meeting was exciting what with Brad S. demonstrating his Micro-KIM from Briel Computers, me showing off the Relax Stress Reduction System (C64 version at $139.95 originally), our looking over various Commodore books, and me playing around with the Notable Phantom music system.

Robert Bernardo in Business Week?

Computer comrade, Jack Rubin, sent me the following. What is Bloomberg's Business Week doing with my photo? Why am I not identified? And where was this? (O.K., it must have been at a Vintage Computer Festival or Classic Gaming Expo five to 10 years ago.) :) Go to

From Scott D. --

...what a great device! I was doing [recording/playback] with my wife near by, and she could not believe I had this music playing through the commodore and recording it.

Here are some pics of the Moses Assembler cartridge and its instruction binder. Developed by Century Micro of Sacramento, California, this version of the assembler works with a 65816 plugged into a VIC-20 computer.

In memory of Jack Tramiel

This blog entry is a repost of an entry from my own personal blog at pquirk.com.

Jack Tramiel was a man whom I never met, and yet he was a huge influence in my life. For those who are unaware of who he is, Jack Tramiel is the man who started Commodore Business Machines; the company that made the world’s most popular computer of all time, the Commodore 64. What is remarkable is that Commodore was one of the pioneers of the home computer revolution, right in step with Apple and others, and that this company was started in Toronto, Ontario, Canada – a true Canadian computer company. Consider that the Commodore 64 was the single best selling computer of all time (between 12.7 and 17 million units), it’s clear that Jack Tramiel made a huge impact on the industry and on people’s lives. I wrote this blog post as a reflection on the impact he made in my life.
