Lame!?! The C64 has got more bang for buck than any other computer on the market. It has managed to survive in this computer world much longer than anyone ever expected. Even its designers figured 2 years tops. This was back in 1982 folks, and you can still buy the same machine (in a new case) for around $130 today. It wouldn't still be here if it wasn't any good. There is currently a software base of 10,000+ for this machine, and a lot of those pacages will easily out perform some of the IBM and Apple products. If your gonna talk about lame computers, talk Apple. There about the most misconceived computers I have had the displeasure of touching. hylbkl@morekypr The guy who owns a 64.
