C= Support for the C-64!!!

WEST CHESTER, PA--Contrary to some nasty rumors, the 64 has not been
discontinued.  Actually, Commodore recently enhanced their C-64 support.  With
the 64 for $64 program, you can send Commodore any broken C-64, along with
$64, and they will send you a refurbished C-64, complete with a 60-day
warranty.  (If your C-64 is still under its original warranty, of course, your
repairs and shipping are covered under the Commodore Express program.)

CBM has also reinstated their EDUCATION PURCHASE PLAN, which offers large
discounts (up to 40 percent) to students and educational institutions on
anything they manufacture.  Call 800-66-AMIGA to locate a dealer near you.

And finally, Commodore has increased its COMMODORE EXPRESS support to include
all Commodore computers, even the 128!  For information, call Commodore
Express at 800-448-9987.

The above info was taken directly from RUN Magazine July/August issue.  I
understand they have an exchange program for broken 1541 drives.  If you call
C=Express and get a return authorization number you can send back your drive
and $75 and get a refurbed 1541 II in place of it.  Even the old vVIC drives
qualify!  I guess Commodore has decided that us little 8 bit users make up a
large percentage of their future market and thought it prudent to start
supporting us again before its too late.   Bob Nunn...
