How about an added little something for this thread? I feel it fits in nicely with showing off the rigs but would be quite a lonely topic on its own. Besides just showing off the current set up... Does anyone out there have any old pics of using Commodore equipment back in the day?
Earlier I showed my father in front of our 1960 Commodore monitor, him playing Railroad Tycoon. But I was thinking, man, that's not exactly the most flattering picture of my dad... It was hard to get his picture, he was the photographer that was never in a photo. So often times I was sent in with a point and click camera to surprise him. My mother also feared if he knew a picture was being taken of him it would result in him picking his nose or doing something silly.
My job was to have the flash ready, go in, say hey dad!, have him look over, take the picture! While I cherish that picture because its him in front of the Amiga and I see the game he's playing; he does look a little pissed off doesn't he? lol . So here are some relevant pics of either my dad or me gaming throughout the years... It won't "all" be Commodore related, but a lot of it will.

Bottom right; My sister next to our C64, hooked up to b/w TV and an original VIC=1541 white drive (no idea what happened to that)
