Recently in the last month or so, 2 cartridges came out for the C64/128,
the Swiftlink and UART cartridges, which will let the commodore 64 go up
to as high as 38,400 baud.   (and maybe higher...)  I just thought I
would pass on this info so that any commodore user that doesn't know will
know that the computer can go much higher than 2400 or 9600 baud...

***[] Short Circuit []***

p.s. seems like the commodore is advancing quicker than it has in the
past.  That is good...  Maybe that will keep it from dying...
