I'm the new owner of a C-64 (bought as a package from a friend who wasn't using his) and would love to get some useful advice. Those of you more experienced could just send me some mail. Thanks. 1--I'm used to using 'vi' for text processing here. Are there any good text-processors which are similar and available for the 64. Or what programs do you have praise for? 2--How valuable are the speed-loader type systems and which do you recommend? Do they come in cartridge form so that they can simply come on-board as soon as the machine is turned on? Is the C-64 Wedge available on cartridge? 3--What magazines might I find useful with info on the 64? Any particular books or other sources you recommend? 4--My children are ages 6-10 and we'd like to pick up both enjoyable and educational programming for them. Any suggestions?
