        I bought my C64 on August 4, 1983 for $199.xx (not including California   
   sales tax) from the Federated Group in Stockton, California.  It also came   
   with the Cassette Bonus Pack (as an offer to sweeten the deal).   
      
             Forgoing the Disk Bonus Pack since I had no disk drive,
