But this week I fired it up to teach my daughter proper coding, as opposed to messing about with HTML. The boot-time was about 0.5 seconds. 1983 was the era of the early ZX Spectrum and Atari 260. These were real computers, where you had to write programs to get them to do anything, or at least buy a cassette tape that might have had a program or two on it. //--clip I have wonderful, nostalgic memories about my old C=64 and all the amazing worlds it exposed me to. But I am not fond of the era of waiting 20+ minutes for the machine to read a binary off cassette tape. Progress is good! (That said, I /do/ wish boot times were 0.5 seconds again). You win some and lose some.
