On Feb 9th and 10th, in San Francisco, there was held the first all-Commodore
show the West Coast had ever seen.  I worked the Commodore booth for the entire
show and had the pleasure of seeing and using privately the new 128.  At this 
time, the machine is simply know as the "128" not B or C - 128, just 128.  It
will be marketed for "under $300.00".  This price is firm.  No other price 
information has been released (not even on the drive or monitor).

Now for the machine itself.  It is 3 (yes, THREE) machines in one.  In the 128
mode, it is a 128k computer with future expansion to 512k.  It's slick and fast
and has Commodore 7.0 basic incorporated in it with EVERY basic command you
could ever hope for or even think of.  In the CP/M mode, it will run version 34
CP/M.  And just for bells and whistles, there is a regular old C64 throw in.
Again, yes it is a REGULAR C64.  In C64 mode, the computer and drive behave as
a C64 because that's EXACTLY what it is.  No extras, no additional speed, 100%
C64 compatable.
