I recently sold my Macintosh and dusted off my old VIC20. A home pc has limited uses anyway. You're not going to use it for storing recepies and doing Pascal programming. Anyway, I needed some financial planner programs that I lost when I sold the Mac. So I said, "hey I don't need multiplan for that." So I wrote them in Basic over the weekend and they work better than the Mac programs. I use a "ROM rabbit" so the datacassette is just as fast as a disk drive. I recommend adding memory expansion though. An 80 column board is nice but not essential. It does everything I want it to.
