Manufacturer	Commodore Business Machines	The Commodore 64 is the successor to the VIC20 . It was originally pitched against the Apple II and even the IBM PCjr but it's most famous rival, at least in the U.K., was the Sinclair Spectrum . There were three models throughout it's production life. Model A is the rarest and was quickly replaced by Model B which is the most popular. The third model, or 64C as it is better known, was introduced at the time of the C128 and is reminiscent of it's cousin with the keyboard brought forward and angled toward the user and the case being altogether less 'chunky'. This design was to again resurface when Commodore bought Amiga Inc. and released the Amiga 500 . The new SIDII sound chip was also introduced with this machine and it had a cleaner sound generator which eliminated volume click when alternating between maximum and minimum levels which was a trick used to play sound samples. To this day it remains the best selling home computer of all time.
