Found in the loft
Found this in the loft.
Found the name of the commodore warranty company quite amusing, in a schoolboy way. |

It was a pretty large business:
Wang Laboratories was a computer company founded in 1951, by An Wang and G. Y. Chu. The company was successively headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Wang Laboratories filed for bankruptcy protection in August 1992. After emerging from bankruptcy, the company eventually changed its name to Wang Global. |

Wang was a huge business. I've used a few Wang computers, and yes, I had a grin on my face the whole time.

When they took several attempts to fix a friend's Amiga 600 back in the day, they quickly became known as "Kers".
