25 years ago was created the Commodore 64: a quarter of century for this personal computer reminding so many technoloigic emotions and remembers to an entire generation (that saw from that moment information moving first steps).
Even if its graphic and memory characteristics looks poor related to today's computers and devices, there are still a lot of fan all over the world using this computer, playing its games or just grown up with its program (predecessors of modern ones).

With its 17 million prototypes sold (at a price originally of 595 dollars and three time less the other pc) the Commodore 64 is still today the single model computer best sold all over the world.

The C64 entered the market at the end of 1982. With it 64 kilobytes of memory (huge amount for that time) it was the first computer accessible to everyone, allowing also easily creation of programs thanks to its Basic language. With its noisy floppy and its rudimental graphic, it has left a track during the years with its games and thousand of applications developed entered in everyday normal life and work.

A lot of fans, still today, retrace this computer magnetism playing with numerous emulators working on modern pc, find back original pieces on the net (most of people have a Commodore 64 somewhere in the armchair) or even make art with it (Rob Kramer for example, is a musician who has created a band regularly showing re-sampled pieces based on the old c64 music games).

The official celebrations will be held next Monday in the Computer history museum in Montan View (California). Jack Tramiel, the Commodore 64 father and Commodore company founder, will attend the ceremony. He escaped from Poland to US after the second world war and started its career repairing typewriter machines.
