Commodore 8032

Commodore PET · 1980

The 80-column PET, and the reason the machine stayed on accountants' desks into the mid-eighties: a full-width business display when almost everything else offered forty characters. Same BASIC 4.0 as the 4032 with a different video circuit. WordPro and Commodore's own business software were written for this screen.
