I'm still edging my bets on this thread getting so vast and random it's going to become aware of us all...!!

In order to have graphic symbols to to draw simple charts and for games as well as upper and lower case characters for word processing Commodore gave the PET two 256 character sets, one with upper and lower case characters for word processing and business applications and one with upper case and gra...

Damn, this is just so... yeah.. Not enough words for this one.. Awestruck!

Chord chart would be cool!!!! Good job on the conversion!
