Hi Richard,
were not great, but at least they were adequate.
Frankly, if one
considers the competition, the Commodore people picked the video
toy market to
play in rather than the home computer market, because they
couldn't compete
with Apple and Radio Shack, though they attempted to compete with
RS' low-end.
So just what is it that classifies the C64 as a "toy" computer ? When
it was released, it was far more capable than the existant Apples,
Ataris & Radio Shacks (& a damn sight cheaper too).
Indeed, out of all the machines then in production, which one still in
use now is still capable of (more or less) doing what modern machines
can ?
cheers,
Lance
