I believe the Vic-20 adds are making a comparison only between the Vic-20
and direct competitors such as the Atari-400 and the TI-99, etc.  They do
not compare with Apples and IBMs, etc..  'Full' BASIC most likely refers 
to some feature (such as PEEK/POKE) that the others don't have. (Atari 
doesn't have built in BASIC, does it??).
