Heh. Now the VIC is a computer I've only heard about in legend. I own
two Usborne science books that contain BASIC program listings, together
with marks indicating lines that need altering for VIC, PET, Spectrum,
Acorn and BBC Micro (and possibly C64, I don't remember off-hand).
(But then, strictly speaking, an Apple is a computer I've only heard
about in legend, and they still *make* those! In fact, I recently
discovered that something almost unbelievable has happened: there is now
an Apple shop in my home town! So maybe I'll go take a look sometime...)
Still, I can remember being a small child, and reading about binary
adders, and deciding that one day I'd sit down and *build* a computer
out of 7400s! ;-)
Oddly enough, that never actually occurred...
