The first successfully mass marketed personal computer was the Commodore PET introduced in January 1977

The current value of Apple and Commodore put that wiki statement to bed as false.

Commodore wasn't sucessful, in the long run.

And I owned the PET, back when they were kits.

Are you for real? They are talking about the first successful PC, not comparing which company lived the longest and got the richest.
