   Hi All,   
      
   There are dozens of websites, forums and Facebook pages for the purpose of   
   exploring the technical bits of Commodore.  And really, there should be.    
   Commodore was a tech company for part of its history.  There are also dozens   
   of Commodore fan pages and    
   that's also a wonderful thing.   
      
   I have no desire to add to that or replace what's already out there.  What I   
   am hoping to achieve is to focus on the historical side of the company.    
   Probably every day, somewhere in the world an attic is cleaned out and an old   
   Commodore brochure is    
   thrown away, or the instruction booklet for a Commodore game, or an old   
   Commodore advertisement.  Or maybe someone worked for Commodore and they have   
   old company memos laying around.  I wanted to set up an easy way for folks to   
   share those items instead    
   of just throwing them in the garbage.  Also, I wanted people who grew up with   
   Commodore but maybe aren't still fans to have a place where they can go to   
   reminisce.   
      
   If you have a moment, please check out the Facebook group I started a few   
   weeks ago.  If you'd like to join, please do so.  I'll be happy to have you.    
   I would also really appreciate it if you have scans, pictures or stories you'd   
   like to share with    
   everyone else.  The group is tiny at the moment, but I'm hoping you can help   
   it to grow.   
      
   The group can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1985860541658665/   
      
   I hope to see some/all of you there.   
      
   Thanks!
