Smokin'
As I completed my Parnet duties I flicked the switch on the
CBM Model 3032 and man was she hot.... Not in literal terms
but you sense she is always all fired up and ready to go.
Successor to the original PET 2001 complete with full size
keyboard. The screen is a 9" monochrome green letters on
black. Launched in 1979 [ yes 1979 ] with just 32KB of memory.
This really was a professional computer in its day. Disk
drives now came as a separate unit for data transfer so no
cassette player/recorder.
