Essentials

March, 6th, 1988

We drove up to the Princess Centre on Highway 7 to the first of what would become a tradition of Computer Fests.

It was quite the show, a big hall full of vendors and even more of them scattered upstairs, computer stuff of every description, software, hardware and even affordable modems for the home user.

The Commodore Amiga was coming down in price but was still over $1000 for the unit on it's own, so, with my existing library of software it made sense to buy the updated slimline C64, which for the computer, monitor and disk drive came to just $845 which was "cheap at the time".

I was back on the joystick.
