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).
