Commodore Computers Timeline

From the first PET 2001 in 1976 to the last Amiga 4000T in 1994, Commodore set the standard for excellence in home computers, and almost single handedly brought computers to the masses. Here is a timeline of their products, both released and vapor. Please note that many of these dates are estimates based on the FCC stickers, articles, and guessing. If you have any corrections, please let me know.
