This is my Commodore PET, model 2001 8C. It never had a label, so I'm looking to buy a new one but I don't know which one this originally came with.

Any hints as to which label of the variations out these this machine originally had?

I'm thinking of ordering here: https://corei64.com/shop/index.php?route=product/search&search=commodore+label

I suppose I should post something introductory now that I'm on my own instance.

I'm a Linux lady who used to work in COBOL development and assorted legacy systems management gigs.

Nowadays I make videos and occasional blog posts about Linux and vintage/retro tech. Entirely supported by viewers like you (no sponsors as of writing). Links in bio.

Are we still doing hashtags?

Recently, I visited the Australian Computer Museum in Sydney: https://acms.org.au/

In the coming days, I'll post photos of some of the old computers on display.

I'll start with the Amiga 500.

The Amiga 500, a beige computer-in-a-keyboard from 1987. This machine had a mouse-driven GUI, colour graphics, multitasking, and did sampled audio.

Did you know you can still get the src for the DICE C compiler (68000 #ANSI C #compiler) written for the #Amiga in the early 90's by Matthew Dillon?
Itll run on #BSD or #Linux host and can generate generic 68000 output that doesn't have to be targeted to the Amiga. It contains all utilities required to compile, assemble, link, rom, etc, and it's BSD licensed. dmake is needed to compile it on #Unix. It will generate 68K code, Amiga bin, obj, etc

I’m looking for work as a senior software #developer. I have a full-stack #WebDev cert, 16+ years #Perl back-end experience, proficiency in multiple other #programming languages.

Databases? Sure, relational *and* NoSQL. CI/CD? Have done, want to do more. I like working with others, either here in #Houston or remotely across the US.

I’ve been hacking code since the #Commodore PET days. I can certainly delight your customers, whatever your stack.
