where you are?

We do.

We make the Commodore

homes , businesses and schools

than any other computer.

With its 64K memory, its

high fidelity sound and its high

resolution sprite graphics, it's

one powerful computer. With its

price—about one third that of

the64K IBM PCjrruorthe

Apple lie™—it's one affordable

computer. (In fact, you can add

a disk drive, a printer or a

modem and get a powerful

computing system for just

about the price of those other

computers alone.)

And with all the

Commodore software programs

we make for it, it's one useful

computer.

What can you use it for?

Just about anything you want

to. For fun or profit, for

homework or housework, for

higher game scores or higher

SAT. scores, for words or

music. For all hours of the day.

And night.

So if you're looking for a

computer, it pays to look into

the Commodore 64.

You'll definitely have

enough money for it. Just make

sure you haveenough time for it.
