The name of "Commodore" origin

i I came across with this interview with Jack Tramiel who
asked for the origin of the name Commodore 64 (Pc'89 show) thought it may be interesting for some of you..


Presenter: It was as ordinary as that was it?

Jack Tramiel: I was sitting in a taxi cab and I was trying to get the name for the company which I was building, and I was really looking to make it call it General, I’d just come out of the army and I was in the army for three years and seven months, so I was looking for something strong, so I was looking for a name like General which I couldn’t get because it was taken. Then I was looking for a name like Admiral, and that was taken, and as I was talking to a friend of mine in the cab right in front of me this car with the name Commodore. I said well let’s try this one.

All lies! According to my mother and other non-computer savvy relatives and friends, it's definitely originated from the Hungarian rasta dog-breed Komondor 64:

Sounds like too much work. How about a blowjob instead? :)

Is there a blowjob with a bad end? o_O

Well, for myself, I don't tend to cut my partner's head off after a good ol' sloppy cock sucking.
