   I used the Demo Vic=20 in some stores along with trying Atari 400 and 800 and   
   the Texas Instruments TI-99/4, Radio Shacks TRS-80,Apples Apple ][ and   
   MacIntosh pc's but decided to get the C=64 as my first computer.   
      
   Some friends I met on Ham Radio had Apple ]['s but the asking price was   
   USD $300.00 more than the C=64, 1541 and VicModem 300 I bought.   
      
   A friend at Church had a TRS-80 Model 1 that stored programs on Cassette   
   Tapes but I saw that the Floppy Drive on a Apple ][ was quicker Loading and   
   Saving programs and decided to spend the extra money to get the 1541 FDD with   
   the C=64.   
      
   I said this before but that friend with the TRS-80 pc got a C=64 a few months   
   prior to my buying one.   
   He didn't have a Cassette Drive, only the pc, and told me it hurt him to type   
   a Basic Listing in and after Running it turning the pc off and lose his work.   
      
   I told him about a 7414
