A large bookstore locallay had been carrying software for every computer still
being manufactured. They ahad a vast amount of software for every system,
including the Apple II. Around Christmas the Apple II section vanished. ( Not
a big loss since most of their software was 50% more than mail order, and I
never bought there). Anyhow, last month all the other sections vanished as
well. Currently there is just remnants for sale, except for the C64, they are
maintaining their stock for this system.

A Nintendo store (sells SEGA ad Turbo-16 as well) also sells C64 games.

This is for a system that receives even less support from its parent than the
Apple II. In fact Commodore has tried to kill the line at least twice in the
past, but people keep waanting it restored. 

The thing is that ONLY games are available in any quantity for the C64. It is
a game machine pure and simple. It is priced like a game machine and it is
designed like a game machine. (I never could type on its keyboard effectively,
but this a personal opinion).

I think that you will find that people will buy anything if the price is
right.
