Define your terms. I remember the LICA (Long Island
Computer
Association) meeting immediately following the release of the much
anticipated C= 64. There were several retailers in attendance, each of
whom had horror stories of empty boxes, boxes filled with incomplete or
inoperable machines and, my favorite story, a unit whose keyboard was
all "Q"s. It seems that Commodore had to rush to get their Christmas
orders filled and they ended up cutting a few corners.
This reminds me of the sparekeycaps for PET kayboards I have.
It was supposed to be good for 10 keyboards, so every keycap
10 times, so when I finaly ordered and counted them I found
that only 6 sets where possible, due the fact that ther where
for some keys as little as 6 pices, while other had up to 14.
Well, seams that Commodore hasd a long tradition in such things.
Gruss
