 == General information ==
+Commodore was still developing and marketing electro-mechanical adding machines but a mere year after entering the desktop electronic calculator market in 1968 they saw sales of that product group increase an astonishing 245% for the year, so Commodore put their main focus on pursuing this new market.  A joint venture was established with their Japanese manufacturer and took over all of Commodore's research and development activities at the Aptos, California office.
+To accommodate the explosion in sales, Commodore relocated its United States headquarters from New York to Santa Clara, California.  The new Santa Clara location would serve as the United States corporate headquarters and would also house a warehouse and a parts and service department.  Commodore also set up additional warehouses in New York and Chicago.  Commodore had sales offices in New York, Chicago and Oklahoma City, with plans to open seven more in key sales regions in the United States.  All of Commodore's offices were connected via a TWX communications network, allowing orders to be transmitted in a matter of minutes and shipped in most cases the same day.
