	Give up my C='s?!?!?!?!?!?
	I own a 64 (it cost $350 at Circuit City in 1983), a 128D ($200 at
Sears; it was a clearance/floor model), and an Amiga 3000.  All I need now is
a way to network them in my townhouse!  :)
	I got the same question from many people when I got my Amiga.  "Are
you going to get rid of your other computers?"  No way!  Also, I have found
that I use the 8-bitters quite a bit even with the A3000 around.  As most 
of the others in this group have said, there are sentimental as well as
fiscal reasons for holding on to our beloved machines.
	If someone is pressuring you to sell your 8-bit and get an 
Irritating Bowel Movement machine ( ie. 386 SUX), give them a little audio
and video comparison.
	Besides, this way, when my commercial software ever gets itself 
written, I will have Commodore only versions.  The IBM'ers will have to 
shell out some money to get a 64C or 128D just to use it!!!  (many smileys)
The 64C is roughly cost comparative to a WordPerfect upgrade anyway, right?
(many more smileys)
	Commodore owners seem to be fiercely loyal to their machines,
don't they?
