Child World in Hazlet,NJ and Eatontown, NJ advertised in a 11/11/84 paper:
	800XL $119.95
	1050  $179.95
At the JACG club meeting Saturday, 11/10/84, an Atari dealer in Cedar Knolls
advertised in a printed handout:
	800XL $129.95
	1050  $179.95
An "electronics" store in Woodbridge Mall (NJ) was observed on 11/11/84 with:
	800XL $129.95
These seem to be the new prices, not just one day only sale prices!!

The Cedar Knolls dealer advertised a modification kit for the 1050 that
add true double density capability, and a claimed three times speed up in
transfer rate.  I have forgotten the manufacturer.  Has anybody had any
experience with such a modification??
