Get real.  The fact that the Sinclair is practical, cheap, and easy to 
develop for exactly the reason that it will be abandoned in favor of a 
costly high priest's machine that has no public documentation and that 
only a few people know how to use.  This is a world of trade guilds, 
including the computer and memory chip makers' trade guild and the 
programmer hall of infamy trade guild.  The whole idea is to conquer 
megabytes of memory that do the work of an 8K algorithm without letting
anyone know.  Get with the program, Jack, and fill memory with useless 
graphics that do nothing.
