Compute's Gazette April 1986
The Winter Consumer Electronics Show report in this issue did have to deal with how Commodore having "no official presence" there amid reports of cash crunches; however, the article reported on "approximately one million 64s, almost 500,000 128s, and about 20,000 Amigas sold", with the Commodore 64 called "the Lazarus machine." A type-in program promised to speed up the 1541 disk drive when copying disks; however, the introduction to CP/M ("a little cranky, somewhat sluggish, and rather unforgiving. But it has endured the test of time.") for the Commodore 128 suggested you'd be much better to use a 1571 disk drive with the operating system for the computer's Z80 coprocessor.
