The Deathbed Vigil shirt: “Apparently some of these were given to Commodore Employees and Vendors when Commodore US officially went bankrupt April 29, 1984”. These were actually for sale. There was a post saying that they were going to be made for a party at the factory, and it’s the first item I ever bought via the internet. It involved sending a cheque via the post and a very long wait for a parcel to come half way around the world, but it worked.

    Amazing.

    I to recall sending cheques to people and hoping they would send the product. The only one I had serious problems with was a guy in North Dakota who refused to send me the C= SX64 “portable” I bought from him via eBay (before PayPal). I travel to Winnipeg a number of times a year and Microsoft had JUST released TERRASERVER (a couple of years before Google maps), so I after he told me that he was just going to keep my money, I sent him a satellite picture of his house, and told him I would be there in 3 weeks to inflict the “equivalent financial damage”… the machine showed up at my house in Calgary 10 days later. Nutty!

    Great story on the shirts David.

    Thanks for reading and commenting. We have to keep the real non-Apple history alive 🙂
