No argument from me. I'm an old Atari hand (and the Atari 800 operating system
was in many ways superior to TOS and MS-DOS, though Apple's PRODOS was a bit
nicer)...

But they're not stuck with retaining compatibility with C=64s, like Apple
is with the old Mac.

Sometimes you need a revolution to make progress. Thomas Jefferson believed
a nation should have a revolution at least every 70 years. Computers need
more frequent housecleaning.
