[net.micro.cbm] C64 info request

I am now seriously considering buying a C64.  I need to have to questions
answered by some C64 owners:  
	1: according to Pop. Electronics, the C64 disk drive is a dog
	   speed-wise because of the serial interface.  Is this true?
	2: How good is the C64 as a terminal?  Is a 24*40 line screen
	   anything but a frustration?  What kind of emulation packages
	   are there?  Has anyone seen any retrofit interfaces yielding
	   displays of approx. 24*80 resolution?
