- And, more to the point, only those who send in their $50 deposits can count on
- ever actually getting ahold of one of these babies. This is going to be a
- special run sort of deal, with no guarantees that more will be produced after

- :) So who's writing it for the C128? It is true, though, that the ZIP board
- will be able to accelerate the C64 as well. What I wonder is, will it be
- possible to accelerate and use 40 columns at the same time? An 80 column C128
- geoPublish would fix those worries.
