	IT DOES NOT COST $100.00 MORE!  The price is about the same
	retail as the old C64.  Even if you pay the suggested price,
	that will still only be about $40.00 more than you would pay
	for a HEAVILY discounted C64.

	I understand there are some RAM differences as well.  Nearly
	every Commodore specific magazine (RUN, COMPUTE'S GAZETTE,
	AHOY!, etc) have an article in the current issue describing
	the new 64C.  Pick one up if you're interested and wealthy
	enough.

	BTW - In my opinion, the new GEOS O.S. and the Quantum Link
	telecom package are alone a major advance for new 64 purchasers.
	When you get a computer that looks good (as opposed to one that
	used to resemble an overstuffed and outdated VT-100 clone) along
	with great FREE software, at a very low price, who can complain?
