Please forgive me for this flippant speculation - if there's a biographical record of those who died of self neglect presumably in despair please can you information or suggest sources* - but I can't help but thinking how much rebranding simply to CBM could have done for Commodore Business Machines. Granted, three letter abbreviations are jealously guarded commonly across industrial classifications, but usually specious and purely with pseudo legal hubris and wishful thinking. I may have just touched on a good reason why something like this wasn't attempted. I can't imagine the original Commodore folk going in for any superficiality or legal shenanigans let alone affecting their identity. Thus Tramiel set the tone for commerce in the computing age much more broadly, I'm thoroughly disheartened to imagine.
* not least because the industry was infinitely more (historical invocation of the word) artisanal and the work personalized, I very much want to read. If I may be so forward, it sounds like you have personal history close to this. I'm seriously interested in doing anything possible to help get history like this published with effective general reader marketing and can tap a variety of serious resources and experience.
