That's a terrific post. I haven't 1/10th the experience of half of you here,
but I do know that there is a shortage of good compilers/languages for the
older boxes. I have an unenhanced //e and I have enough trouble running
software that uses the new roms and chips...

After about 5 years of piddling with Applesoft (like it as I did), I just
decided to take on assembly and mix the two for what I needed. Works pretty
well, but I really want a swift C compiler to use! Unfortunately, I am on a
strict cashflow, have heard terrible things about Aztec C (no offense to those
who use it or (gasp) wrote it!), and don't have the ability to tie up my
dollars into an expensive one. Alas, I wait until I can get my IBM PC running
worth beans...
