The PET was launched in 1977, the VIC20 in 1981, and the C64 in 1982. The products were each "announced" about a year previous to their "launch". Other product introductions were: B-series and SX64 in 1983, PLUS/4 in 1984, and C128 in 1985. -- -- Fred Bowen uucp: {uunet|rutgers|pyramid}!cbmvax!fred domain: fred@cbmvax.commodore.com tele: 215 431-9100 Commodore Electronics, Ltd., 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA, 19380
