Good idea, if you learn to program well on a machine with 64k and low powered
CPU then just imagine what you`ll be able to do on a modern machine.
There`s a version of defender knocking about which will only run on a 386 or
higher !! People are getting sloppy with their code, I say make `em write on
spectrums and c64s first, hopefully they`ll appreciate the power at their
disposal when they get to use it.
BTW, I need a PSU for a UK vic20, anyone ?
