I started to point that out several times, but thought I would wait to see
how long it took for someone else to do it.    ;-)    Thanks for restoring my
faith in Commodore users!    :-)

I would like to add the 40 column mode of the C128 to your list.  The C128's
80 column mode may not count as the 80 column VDC used its own RAM, much like
the PC video cards of a decade ago.
