Dennis...:)  One handy thing to have for the 64 is a cartridge called 
Fastload from Epyx or better yet Super Snapshot.  They make loading and doing 
routine things easy and quick.  Another handy item is a program called 
Maverick which is a copying program, quick and works well.  If you have a 
1581 drive then Big Blue Reader will let you copy text files between IBM and 
Commodore formats.  Programs all sort around and lots of public domain and 
shareware.  Buy yourself a Compute magazine and look at the ad in the back 
and through the C64 section they carry for addresses of shareware companies 
that supply disks full of material, much of it not too bad, you will have to 
pick and choose.  I use Pocket Writer 2 and they now have version 3 out for a 
word pro.  Easier to use and has lots of good features including the ability 
to make ASCII files for uploading.  The information on hardware is good to 
have but as with most areas there is no money for it at this time.  What 
money is available will I am sure be looked at for upgrading from the 64's to 
something else.  Do keep in touch and I will try to help you as you go along. 
 A good term program is also CCGMS which is the one I use.  Carol
