Hard to believe, huh? Not only is this hard to believe, it is also wrong. The C64 has only sold about 9 million units. The Atari VCS has sold over 17 million units. The VCS was intended for video games, and had only 128 bytes of on-board RAM (yes, that is bytes, not Kbytes.), Yet plug in cartridges enhanced its capabilities. A version of chess was even shipped for it. God bless America, we have the smartest closets in the world. -- -- David Phillip Oster - Note new address.
