Allen,
Hey, I didn't know you used to program on the VIC-20! That was my
first computer and I loved it... all those colors and graphics characters.
To get the most outta the computer, you had to have that Programmers
Reference guide that had all those bazillion POKES in it, though. The
sound on the machine was great, too (for the time). Games were pretty
easy to write on it since the sounds were there (and did not freeze up
the computer while a tone was being played) and you had all the colors
and graphics characters printable. And of course you had the whopping 4k
of memory! ;)
