Commodore PET 2001 Oldest Known Promotional Brochure

Because of the age and amount of information in this brochure, we have converted it to text so you can read it easier. If you have anything of equivalent age or older, please contact us.. This document was given to commodore.ca by Austin Hook of Canada’s (and likely North America’s) first retail computer store. I believe the document is from 1977 because:

it is very low quality
shows a Commodore PET 2001 with chiclet keyboard
shows a price of US$999 ($3500 in 2018 dollars) for the PET 2001
shows only original PET cassette, and 2020 printer
