I suppose a regular, bog standard, run of the mill breadbox "64K
COMMODORE 64"? According to wikipedia, the C64's list price was $300 in
June 1983 but it was sold for $199 in some stores already so the $199.50
price for April 1984 seems right. And yes, *quite* a difference compared
to European prices.
