PET Rocks


I know it seems I was going backwards in time when I go forward in time briefly to 1990, however, I saw this thing at the Ham radio sale, along with a WATCOM basic daughterboard and two disk drives, it was a huge box of real estate for very little money.

It represented a copy of that very first "personal" computer I had ever used in the workplace (and at Edge Hill College) and was fun to have for a few months, crazy yes, but I've been big on nostalgia for a long time.

I sold it six months later on the BBS for about the same money, the enthusiastic guy who bought it drove all the way from the other side of Toronto to pick it up.
