I'd say it's probably good from a computer standpoint.
I darn well have the computer and office furniture in my 'collection' as well.
I think they'd make great display units for the computers.
'The Commodore Office'
Ooo.... man, yah that could be neat if we had the space to showcase various
gens of 'Commodore' office swag.
However, World of Commodore to me has only meant their computers from when I
was a wee lad.

Sounds good to me except that a "Commmodore" timeline should mean not
only 8 bit but "all" Commodore computers - ie Amiga, MS-DOS (and the 900
if it can be found).
And to take it to the next logical step - if a timeline is to have a
beginning then the start would be typewriters, calculators, watches and
maybe some furniture thrown in.
The next question is - where would it all go?
