Past Blast - "Wonder Woman 1984" - Corp Guy Using PET

Blast from the past ...
"Wonder Woman 1984" - the old moneybags corp guy is
seen using a COMPUTER ... a Commodore PET, looks
like 40 column display, with a crude spreadsheet  :-)
PETs weren't terrible PCs ... 1Mhz 6502, not much
diff from the Apple-II performance-wise. Kinda always
wanted one. I've got an A2, with floppies, but don't
dare turn it on lest old capacitors pop.
Knew one of those guys ... remember that Val Kilmer movie
called "Real Genius" ... the guy was a LOT like the
movie guy who lived in the walls. He used a PET to
write cloned popular video games - IN *MACHINE LANG*,
HEX codes - and burned them to ROM cartridges. Watched
him do it, easy as writing a post-it note. Said
it gave him a buzz .......
NOT sure what became of him - maybe went nuts - IQ 200+
fer sure - those guys ain't always stable, "Sheldon+" ...
but DID love his little computer shop. Remember when
there were LOTS of those ??? Well WORTH driving 50
miles ......
Heh heh ... one more local shop, the guy wondered
why anyone would possibly want more than 8-bit/
64K ... I told him "graphics" ....... this was
C-64/Atari-800 days ...........
