World of Commodore 2019

This year I finally made it back to the World of Commodore show, put on by the world's oldest continuously active users group, the Toronto PET Users Group (or "TPUG" for short). Despite a cancelled flight that resulted in a nine-hour drive to get there, I had a blast. You know what to do: click the pixtures to make them more bigger!

A view of the exhibit hall, which was sectioned off for a talks area last time I was here.

The schedule for the show.

My table, showing GeckOS with my laptop acting as a serial terminal. Here are the slides from my talk.

My big score at the show, a "new old stock" disk house!

Jim Brain's rare Commodore hardware, including two C65s and its test cartridge!

A closeup of one of the C65s with its cover off.

Jim discussing how the SuperCPU accelerator works.

Retro cookie cutters! (The cookies were delicious.)

A beautiful SuperPET and 2031 floppy drive.

Not all the machines present were Commodores!

Greg Naçu's Frankenbox, filled with Commodore goodness.

Greg also had an Ultimate 64 set up.

Greg gave a talk about C64 OS.

Dr Richard Immers talked about his book Inside Commodore DOS (and autographed mine).
