Summary: 

Here in Toronto, a local radio station (CFNY) runs commercials for
a computer dealer (Computer Dumb - for people that are) offering
$300 off an Amiga 500 if you trade in your old C64. They then give the
C64 to charity!! I don't know what their normal selling price for a 500
is, but this seems quite a noble thing to do (and a tax write-off too,
no doubt). The sore spot is that this commercial is sometimes followed
by an Atari ad offering to give you a Mac SE if you buy an ST and don't
like it. I don't know the complete details here, but this is what I heard...sjk
