[net.micro.cbm] VIC20, world's greatest pc

Any other VIC users out there?  I recently sold my Macintosh and dusted
off my old VIC20.  A home pc has limited uses anyway.  You're not going
to use it for storing recepies and doing Pascal programming.  Anyway, I
needed some financial planner programs that I lost when I sold the Mac.
So I said, "hey I don't need multiplan for that."  So I wrote them in
Basic over the weekend and they work better than the Mac programs.  I
use a "ROM rabbit" so the datacassette is just as fast as a disk drive.
I recommend adding memory expansion though.  An 80 column board is nice
but not essential.  It does everything I want it to.
