Oh you poor sap! At least I was able to save up enough to get the 8K
expansion cart with all the cool new BASIC commands. And when I got a job
at McDonalds ($3.05/hr), I bought a brand new C=64 with a 1541! Woo-hoo!
No more cassette tape storage for me! Notch the cheap SSDs to use both
sides, write a quickie ASM to sit on the 1541's 2K controller RAM so you
didn't have to stomp over your program to get a disk listing...man, I was
set! Fast forward 4 Amigas (A500, heavily expanded A1200, and two more
A500s), and now I've got emulation for all the C= machines running under
Win/Linux so I can relive those days gone by.
Ahhhh, I can almost hear that Vic's old cassette whir and whir before it said my program was lost... ;)
BTW, my home mail is still YAM 2.0 on the Amiga (UAE). But I haven't been able to get a JDBC thin client working under it...yet! :D
