Dear Mr Gieske...

   I am currently the owner of a Commodore 64, and a prospective 
buyer for the Apple Macintosh.
   I would suggest that if you want to buy a personal computer for  
experimentation and programming that would be expandable, get a
C64.
   I would, however, have reservations about buying a C4.
   The C64 is a good computer, but the C4 is awful. Don't even
bother thinking about the C4.
   If you were to go to any respectable computer store and inquire
about the C4's CPU, you would be shocked to learn that the C4 has
NO CPU!
   I think the reason for this is that the C4 does not exist.
   Not to my knowledge, anyway.
   If I am deluded and stupid, or you are enlightened as to the
discovery of a new Commodore machine (probably from another planet),
please write more about the amazing and incredulous "C4."


                                             Yours Truly,

                                             Napoleon Bonaparte
