The C64C comes with disk based GEOS (one side), and disk based QuantumLink
(the other side).  And I think they're including one other disk, though I
don't know what it is.  The list price is indeed up around $100.00, though
I'd expect the selling price to be up considerably less.  The PCB is the
same used in later C64s, which was a substantial quality improvement over
the first C64 PCB, and I think they have an even newer one scheduled to go
into the C64C before too long.  No differences to the user, except maybe
fewer trips to the repair shop.

   A quote usually goes here, but its currently being rennovated.

	These opinions are my own, though for a small fee they be yours too.
