The C128 is biggest hodge podge I have seen. There probably won't
be very much software written for the non c64 mode. The cpm mode
uses old outdated software that doesn't take advantage of the 80
column color display. Also you can't use any graphics in the 80
column mode. As a former c64 owner I would advise that you either

1) Stick with your c64
2) Move up to the atari ST which is actually cheaper for a complete
   package( this is what I did)
3) If animation or multi-tasking is important to you and if you
   can afford it go for the amiga.
