I bought a C64. Owned it for a few months and then gave it away. True, it does play games really well (the XE system is just as good), but it is not a good computer. Ask any computer expert to look at the two and they will tell you that the C64 is just a hack and that the good is a true computer. Plus trying to enter things into the C64 is just so clumbersome. I will stick with my Atari. >Why do you people still use ATARI 800 computers??? > >The C64 is far superior, it has 8 real sprites, better scrolling >and a real sound-synthesizer chip, the SID. > >Why did anybody buy the inferior ATARI 800??? > >The ATARI 800 is crap, when it's compared to the C64. > >Why don't you throw away your ATARI??? -- Edward S.
