Actually, there is some resentment of Commodores in
some quarters.
Besides
the usually friendly rivalry between Spectrum and 64
owners, I've
encountered
some real vitriol when I bring up 64s to certain other
classic computer
groups who shall currently remain nameless.
Don't go near comp.sys.sinclair. "Commode" users get slammed there on a
regular basis -- and hard.
I suppose their justification is
that the C64 crammed their system out of the market, and as a Mac user, I
do have *some* sympathy :-), but still ...
The general opinion seems to be that the C64 folks stole the best games
from the Spec, and cut price to run Sinclair out of the
market.
