Hi there,

While cleaning up one of the dark and dreary, (dungeon-like),
corners of my basement, I ran across a February 1988 issue
of a local classified newspaper. I wondered why I would have
saved it. Upon closer inspection I noted an ad which was
circled. I thought you might get a kick out of it. This was
just 15 years ago. Boy how time flies. Here it is.

  FOR SALE: NEW COMMODORE
  128D, 2002 monitor. Comes com-
  plete with all manuals, cables,
  system diskettes, etc. Still under
  warranty. Asking $600. Must sell.
  Has built-in drive;  100%  C-64
  compatible. Great way to
  upgrade.  847-xxxx after 5.

In the same issue was a commercial ad for an AT Compatable
Computer, 10MHZ Turbo, 40 megabyte hard drive and 
1.2 meg floppy drive; With monochrome monitor $1599;
with CGA - $1839,  and with EGA - $2050.  Also an 
80-column dot matrix printer $150 with any system.

I think I still have one around somewhere, that I would gladly
sell for $6, if someone would come around and dig it out!!!!

Everyone have a great summer. Get some antenna work 
done, and stay out of the sun and lightning.
