*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
I have an excellent Daisy wheel printer for My C64 called BLUE CHIP
that I bought from the Target dept. store chain for $199. I am very
happy with it. It is from a company in AZ. I don't have the info in
front of me, but anyone is interest...rather enough interested I will
post to the net. 
BTW, it comes with everything you need to connect it to your C64
(cables, etc.) and word processing software which I played with a
little and is something like EasyScript.
