I'm assuming you mean the different case design - over here (South
Australia) they seem to be as common as the old breadbox sort, but I
suspect that in numbers they are slightly less than the older designs. I
have three of them, and I only wanted the one. As far as I know there are
no functional changes, although Commodore had a history of working out
ways to make systems cheaper, so there may be a difference internally.

I did find one old C64 in a third-party case which looked very much like
the C64c, though. Interestingly enough it was made here - I would have
picked it up, but I shy away from collecting computers based on the
different cases, as there are too many to collect just based on the
different systems themselves, and space is limited.

Adam.
