I posted this info to a local (seattle) bbs and someone replied that they had seen a similiar ad in REDBOOK. The ad starts on page 71 in the issue I have. It starts out "What to get when your kids' brains outgrow Nintendo?", and finishes up "A real computer, and everything to get you started, for less than $500*". It struck me as a very effective ad. Has anyone else seen these or other ads? I also saw the system advertised in this ad at a local Waldensoftware. Way to go, Commodore!!!!!
