Summary
With sales close to 17 million units, The Commodore 64 is the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. On December 7, 2007, John Markoff, tech reporter for The New York Times , moderated a panel at CHM to celebrate the Commodore's 25th anniversary. First, John chats with Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore International, before being joined by former IBM exec William Lowe, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and Adam Chowaniac who developed the Amiga. Note: there are few brief periods of Mic troubles that are quickly resolved. To watch a video of this program, please visit the Computer History Museum's YouTube channel.
