On the wireless tonight...
commodorec...@googlemail.com
Well, I always thought that I had a face for radio, and now I'm going
to see if I have a voice for radio too. Fledging Cheshire radio
station for Crewe and Nantwich, The Cat, will tonight have a 'special'
guest to talk about the 8-bit indy development scene and other 8-bit
related stuffs. You can listen online by clicking http://www.thisisthecat.com/
from 21:00 onwards. You may also send some questions in regarding indy
developments and/or 8-bits as long as they are not too taxing to
studio<SPAM>@thisisthecat.com (you knows which bit to remove). Please
avoid the "which is better, the Speccy or the C64?" sort of questions
as we all know the answer to that one.
A note for younger people, words like "C*mm*d*re", "C64" and other
mild swear words will be used during this broadcast, so if you don't
want your mind currupted, then don't listen. You have been warned!
Regards,
Shaun.

I think I might give 1337 and Storm Lord a bit of a plug, or
something ;-)

The show should be recorded too.

I can point that the last paragraph was in *X-POST* between the two
comp.sys.* ? as usual....
Personally, every 8-bit machine has his strongness and weaknesses, and I
guess that it's time for starting the talks for the peace treaty closing
this thirty year flamewar :)
Best regards from Italy,
dott. Piergiorgio.
Nice attempt to flame-bait....

No attempts at anything really. As I said on the show, I like the
Commodore VIC-20 and PET a lot. In any case, some Commodore people
need to get a sense of humour.

Commodore - he's just a young lad and I guess that was pretty much all
that he knows. I've been invited back on to future editions so I may
be able to right my wrongs in the future.

Shaun.

And indeed also Sinclair people....
At least we agree :)
Side note, in French and German the words PET and Vic respectively
actually sounds like local mild unrefined word.... ;)

Which is why they didn't call it the Vic in germany, iirc?
They called it the VC 20.

Not nearly as much as [some of] the Immortal Grandmasters of the C64,
I can assure you.

If you say so.

As well as pointing out that I'm not a C64 expert or specialist or
whatever, I also dropped the bombshell within the broadcast that I
prefer the Commodore PET and VIC-20 over the C64 mostly.

Take care,

Well, also I prefer the PET to the Vic and 64, mainly because these was
more "balanced" engines re. Vic and 64.
OTOH, in the sinclair branch, I prefer the Speccy to the ZX81-80.

yes, AFAICT.
Also VC gives an certain marketing vantage, with the parallel with the
VW (the "beetle")

Two?!?! When I called up the headers, I counted *five* groups (all
comp.sys.*) in the header...

It's simple really; the best 8-bit machine is -- whichever one you
happened to own. :-)
