I suppose I still have a sentimental attachment to the VIC-20, since it was my
first computer, way back when no one had ever HEARD of an Amiga, or even a 
C-64.  Well, I don't have the '20 any more, but I did see an interesting use for
one the other day, with a Datassette, no less!

The user had somehow interfaced the VIC with his scanner, and had written a 
program to control the scanner from the VIC screen.  The scanner did not have a
computer interface capability, but somehow he was able to add it.  I actually
borrowed the Datassette, to load a program given to me on cassette only.  So 
I guess there is some life still left in the VIC-20!
