I totally diaagree with that comment. My interest in computers is
hardware related (I follow Steve Ciarcia in that 'my favourite language

either simple integrated circuits or discrete transistors (I forget which
the 8/S is) is a lot more interesting than a machine built round a
microprocessor and, even worse, semi-custom video and sound ICs.
I totally aggree with you.
Different people have different interests, sure, and I
am not saying that
those who like the VIC20 (and similar machines) are in any way 'wrong'.
It's just not my main interest.
Same here.
