My sister has a Commodore filing cabinet at home. I missed out on a mint 3
drawer unit last year at a church garage sale. I have one of the C-64 desks at
home now (the brown promo unit).

a chicken head or something into it in some inconspicuous spot. How do I know
they didn't? I took the whole thing apart a couple years ago and re-furbed it
top to bottom. Before doing this I would just leave it outside, uncovered, year
round. Now that it looks brand new again, I keep it in the garage. :]
As was mentioned, Commodore made filing cabinets at Pharmacy Ave. Most people
know they also made desks (the L-shaped secretarial, large rectangluar
executive and other styles), but they also made office chairs for a short time.
There were the shorter clerk style swivel armchairs and highback executive
style, both in several styles and colours. I think they were abandoned because
they probably didn't generate the kind of profit margins that made Jack happy.

Wow, that's quite interesting. I had always assumed that the watches
were purely a marketing gimmick for the computers etc, and not a
product line unto themselves.
Karl, does that BBQ have the Commodore name or logo on it anywhere?
If so it could be quite the curiosity as a showpiece at World of
Commodore this year! ;-)
