   Yes, and many of those people probably thought that 65K meant some number
   between 64,500 and 65,500, which it does.  In other words, Radio Shack
   was among the few accurate and honest vendors.

Uhh, last time I checked 65,536 was greater than 65,500.  So, I
suppose that makes it a 66K machine.  If it keeps growing at this
rate, it'll be a Real Computer(tm) before ya know it! :-) :-) :-)
