ELCOME
Hi and welcome to another late edition of Commodore Free
magazine, thrown together in much hast and with very little
skill involved
Other series of note for me are Pawn stars, as in pawning an
item to get funds, and American restorations where they take
old items and make them look like new, (although I am not to
sure about making every old item look new, to me some items
are better rusty and old looking) but the skill involved is well
worth watching. Nothing to do with Commodore but on Pawn
stars they did get an old Apple II computer to pawn in and they
Pawned it for $100 the girl really wanted $300. Anyways let’s
look what’s in this issue
Especially welcome this issue are the new readers who
recently contacted me, (they wished to be anonymous)
hopefully the magazine is catering to your needs and you said
you enjoyed reading the articles and are busily back tracking
through the old issues in true retro style. Or is that a retro
style-e
HELP me if you can ........
I haven’t received much in the way of a response to the “cry
for help” I issued, where I said I needed reviewers and
information on the Commodore 264 series of machines (these
are the Commodore 16 and plus 4 and C116 machines). If you
are a user of these machines and feel passionate enough to
write something for others to read please get in touch as I
would like to put together a “264 Special issue”.
PICK ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO
I have recently become fascinated with the TV programme
“American Pickers”, if you haven’t seen it yet I would suggest
you look out for it. These guys hunt through “collectors some
may call them obsessive hoarders but I suspect all commodore
users are guilty of this, I know I am, heck I cant even open the
door on my “computer room” because as my wife says its full
of JUNK)” homes trying to find old items to sell on and
therefore try to make a profit. Although picking isn’t
something new, the fact we can now follow 2 guys around
(albeit by watching a TV show) and see some of these eccentric
collections I find fascinating. If you are wondering what I think
all the fuss is about then head over to the History channel and
click on videos http://www.history.com/ I know it works in the
Uk and America but am not sure if you can view these videos
in other parts of the world though, maybe using a Uk proxy
server may assist you. The items uncovered are things like 100
year old bikes, farming implements, motoring items.
I also like “storage wars” were people bid on old storage units
(the owners can’t be found) very exciting.
Errm ok then what’s in the issue................
In this issue then
We have more news, and a review of WYVERN THE GAME, we
continue our CP/M and Assembler tutorials I haven’t had any
feedback on these, so I presume everyone is following along
and digesting the information. Finally Commodore man tells us
how to Finding the Start and Endpoint of a Program
Thanks for reading and comments as well as submissions are
always welcome

Old-School Hacker Movie Set In Melbourne Needs Your Help
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/02/old-school-hacker-
movie-set-in-melbourne-needs-your-help/
It’s not every day someone asks you for your old Commodore
64 to help recreate 1980s Melbourne for a period piece on
hackers. Yet, that’s exactly what the makers of Underground , a
direct-to-TV movie currently in the works for Channel Ten, are
doing. So, have you got any aging hardware you’re willing to
part with ?
