heh - actually, there definitely were no Commodores but transistors were
invented in the late '40s and integrated into mainframe computers during the
'50s - I worked for Texas Instruments from '59-'70 designing computers using
transistors - the integrated circuit was invented and developed during this time
which reduced computers from refrigerator size to microwave oven size (less
peripherals) - LSI appeared during the '70s and that's when the personal
computer was born and became (somewhat) affordable for affluent home users by
the '80s
