I was, from day one. I _used_ other machines, and I
did admire
certain features of other machines (like the Hi-res graphics of the
Apple II when all I had was a character-graphic PET), but really
enjoyed getting to know Commodore products at the ROM-code and
register level (something I never enjoyed on the Apple II, even when I
was being paid to to program it - I appreciate and admire Woz's
hardware from a technician's standpoint, but I can't stand the
consequences of his achievements from a programming standpoint).
Well-put. Programming on the Apple II, as clever as the design was, is
generally an exercise in trying to figure out what Woz was thinking at
the time.
I rarely, if ever, had that kind of frustration with the Commodore 64.
