The rise and fall of Commodore

David John Pleasance, former Commodore MD, tells Martin Cooper MBCS about life inside one of computing’s most loved firms. He also explains why retro computing could be the key to getting a new generation of young people interested in technology.

Mismanaged from the hero to zero. That, in a way, sums up David John Pleasance’s take on how Commodore roared to a position of almost global dominance and then collapsed, just as dramatically, declaring bankruptcy on 19 April 1994.

Homeless advocates push back against Lancaster Township camping rules

Lancaster City encampment's future still uncertain

This discussion comes as a homeless encampment off North Conestoga Drive is set to be cleared Wednesday. The land is owned by Lancaster City, which has requested assistance from Lancaster Township for the clearance. Under the new ordinance, the city would be considered the property owner, and any future encampments on the land would need to comply with the new regulations.

During the meeting, board members expressed willingness to work on an extended deadline for clearing the encampment to give Lancaster City more time to assist the individuals living there. They clarified that the city set the September 16 deadline, and the township is only assisting.

The board said that if there were an extension, they would need a new deadline from the city, adding that they cannot delay the process indefinitely.
