Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 10 Use the c64 for an intelligent 64K printer spooler. If you wanted to do data compression, it would hold even more than 64K of text. Use the c64 as a data compressor and communication processor. With suitable encoding and decoding on either end, you can get almost 2400 baud performance out of a 1200 baud line. Use the c64 as a debugging terminal connected to WACK and the amiga serial port. Use the c64 as a bookrest to hold up your amiga manuals.
