   I certainly can't understand the grounds for complaint.   
   After all, Isaac Asimov was encouraging people to buy Radio Shack   
   computers - and Bill Cosby appeared in ads for the TI 99/4. (And I   
   didn't even have to Google those up!)   
   I didn't know you could upgrade a VIC-20 to a Commodore 64; I thought   
   you just had to go out and buy a Commodore 64. Although it _is_ true   
   they both connected to some of the same add-on equipment, including   
   the 1571 floppy disk drive.
