That's it!!! That's how Commodore can raise more money to support 
development work on Ranger and new custom chips:

	Produce some really far out wonderful commercials that
	everyone will want to watch many times. Run them for one
	week on the highest rated show on network tv (Cosby?)
	Then pull them and wait. Public response will be so great
	that everyone will want to see them again. Then CBM goes
	to CBS and ABC and tells them, "OK, we'll run our top rated
	commercial on your lowest rated shows if you pay US the
	big $$$$. People will tune in to your shows to see our
	commercials, and the rating of your shows will go up,
	so you'll be able to hike your ad fees for those shows
	and recover the money you paid us, plus a fat profit."
