This #iconic #8bit #retrocomputer #vector #illustration is a #resolutionindependent #tribute to the most sold #computer model, everrr. Until 1988 #Commodore sold more #C64 #homecomputers than all #IBM compatible #PC's combined. While the #DTP #revolution was in full swing on #Apple #Macintosh #computers, some school #newspapers been created with #Pagefox back then.

PixelfedITs History! (@gfkDSGN@pixelfed.social)1982 Commodore introduced the computer for the masses not the classes...
“It writes, rates, creates, even telecommunicates. Costs less does more — the #Commodore64”
This outstanding #homecomputer came with #8bit #MOS6510 #CPU, 64KB RAM and #BASIC. Initially the #C64 was sold for a little under 600 bucks, but competition was brutal in the #8bit-war. https://youtu.be/E9nDsIvUto4
With prices dropping #Commodore sold two million units annually and had a market share up to 40% in the US until 1986.
At one point, the company was selling as many C64s as the rest of the industry combined.
Even when #IBM #PC 5150 compatible #16bit systems changed that in 1988, the #C=64 became highest-selling computer model of all time.

Hey—Just curious… For *your* personal computer at home, do you have and *routinely* update a complete backup copy of everything on it that you then store somewhere else offsite that is safe and secure?
