Commodore

C64 home brand

Commodore was an American computer company that produced influential home computers in the 1970s and 1980s, most notably the Commodore 64, one of the best-selling personal computers ever made.

The name evokes nostalgia for early home computing: I learned to program on my Commodore 64. (Lowercase commodore is a naval rank.)
