Summary: use of the C64



I am using the C64 to run a very small busness ( my household ).
The first priority task assigned to the computer is that of a
typewriter replacement for composing school papers and other
letter correspondence.  For this my word proccessor is speedscript
with all it's supporting programs such as pre-view80, the spelling
checker and mail merge.

Second priority: is preperation of my finacial reports, for which
I use speedcalc.  Also abtained from the Compute magazine.

Third: is my budget analysis. For this I purchased the program
Net Worth.

4: comes edcuation. I am a professional programer and wish to teach
machine language programming to my children.  The assembler I have
for this is Merlin also used with Micromon for a debugger.

Last priority is home entertaiment (translate as the games).

Yes I am envious of the newer computer such as the Amegia, but I
had to purchase the C64 from my household budget (Government
funds availble at work wouldn't cover this).
