- Discontinued, hell! The C64 is currently selling at the rate of
- 700,000 units annually, and is the sole reason that Commodore's
- factory is still open (the Amiga chips are licensed out third parties
- for manufacturing). You can probably get a 64C for ~$100 and a 1541
- drive for <$100. You could hook it up to a TV, or use a composite
- capable monitor such as the 1084S, which runs for about $300.
