Well,
I wasn't aware of that one.... were they the ones that bought the
chip factory? I was actually referring to world HQ in Westchester,
which Ryan Brooks correctly identified as the QVC shopping
network.
I've bought stuff from them, and every time I think about my Vic-20,
C-64, and my Three Amigos, errr..... Amigas.
They sell a lot of electronics. Too bad C= died before they could
set up a marketing agreement with QVC........
Unfortunately, you don't win anything except the warm, fuzzy
feeling that you know a lot of relatively useless minutiae.
Congratulations!!!

What do I win??

A little C= trivia on the subject -- after C= went belly-up and the
plant was vacated, what then-fledgling but now-very famous and
extremely successful company bought the Westchester facility to
start it's empire?

I
don't know if anyone saw this on comp.sys.cbm, but it's an
interesting brochure. It's the auction notice brochure from 1994 for
the Commodore Semiconductor Group. I work for the asset-based
financing division of the sixth-largest bank in the US, and we've used
Ross-Dove for our auctions and liquidations. It's a nice brochure with
detailed pictures.
Sad, none the less, but a great brochure.

Yeah, I downloaded all the images. Very informative and a rare look into
what MOS Technology became.
