Well, Commodore has dropped the dealer price on the C64 to $199 in the USA, so you will see loss leaders for peanuts on it soon. Their new software division has decided that they will sell almost all their software for under $50. They have signed on products like "The Manager" from BMB and others to sell at this price. The authors are getting peanuts, though. They wanted two of my products, but only wanted to give a royalty of $0.50 per copy with no assurances. Mind you, with database, spreadsheet and word processors for $50, they are going to hurt their competition. They have halved the price of their games, and some will be down to as low as $10 soon, I expect. -- Brad Templeton - Waterloo, Ont. (519) 886-7304
