The Commodore Story: Gone but Not Forgotten

[Anubis]

From the PET to the Amiga CD32

What links the following? #1: a best-selling home computer, #2: one of the most beloved non-console gaming machines of the 80s and 90s, and #3: the first personal computer to sell over 1 million units.

A lot of people over 30 will probably name a Commodore machine as the first computer they ever used, be it a Commodore PET in the late seventies, a VIC-20 or Commodore 64 from the 1980s, or even one of the Amiga line in the early nineties. Some will have played their first game on one or wrote their first program in BASIC, perhaps leading them to a life-long career in the tech industry—I'm one of many who owe a debt of gratitude to the company.

Vic-20 then Commodore 64 and then the Amiga and that one sealed the deal for me. Life-long tech geek and I thank Commodore as well for starting me out on my journey as it has paid for my very existence!

Thanks Commodore! And thanks to my Dad for having the vision to see that computers were going to be the THING of the future and buying those first 2 machines when I was just a kid. (I bought the Amiga myself)

Thanks for that link Anubis!
