I have absolutely no intention of trashing my C128, C64, and SX-64. There is
no motivation to fill my home with Amigae, Macs, SparcStations, or anything else
I can ill afford when the C64 technology still manages to fulfill all my needs
for both productivity (can you say "word-processing"), and general hardware/
software hacking. A simple example: just before the introduction of the C64,
the most inexpensive VT100 compatible terminal would set you back $1000-$2000!
Now that the age of telecommunications has arrived, literally millions of
potential cheap terminals sit abandoned in attics while the Nintendo occupies
the place of honor. No, I won't abandon over $2000 worth of Commodore
equipment and software just for the Whiz-Bang-Nifftyness of something new.
