"C= began in the '50s (I think) as a typewriter manufacturer!" The "I think" in your message is obviously an oxymoron. Commodore began as a typewriter and business machine repair service in the late 1940's. They never manufactured a typewriter. They were, however, one of the first manufacturers of electronic calculators, an early acquirer of CMOS manufacturing capability and even operated a chain of calculator boutiques.
