By 1984 16K was no longer considered enough memory for a home computer, and the fact that you could not expand it virtually made the 16K version of the machine instantly obsolete. It goes without saying that not many of the 16K models were sold. This small amount of memory could not support many computer games by 1984 and by this time your average punter demanded more memory. 16K? Pah! If you fancied trying your hand at programming, a good version of BASIC was installed on the machine.
Tangerine basic was actually created by Microsoft and was an upgrade to the Basic used on the Oric 1. For budding learners it was a decent version to get your teeth into.

Although it looks like an unimpessive keyboard-like box, the Commodore 64 was incredibly popular.
More C64s have been sold than any other single computer system, even to this day. That's about 17 million systems, according to the Commodore 1993 Annual Report. In a 1989 interview, Sam Tramiel, then-president of Commodore, said that "When I was at Commodore we were building 400,000 C64s a month for a couple of years. " The C64 looks nearly identical to the Commodore VIC-20, released in 1981. They are similar, but the C64 is more powerful with more features. The C64's microprocessors support two high-resolution graphic modes, smooth scrolling, "sprites", bit mapping, character collision resolution and character mapped graphics, not to mention three channels of complex sound. Originally, the only method of storing your own data was on the proprietary Commodore Datasette recorder. A floppy drive was eventually released - the famous 1541.
