- Exactly. When the A1000 came out a lot of people said that the old 8bit days
- of assembler and programming custom chips directly is over because the new
- machines are so fast. Somuch for that. Yeah, you can do a lot more in 'C' and
- with the OS than on an older machine, maybe even all and more, but you won't
- come close to what the new machine is really capable of. Look at EA's F1 game
- and compare to later stuff.

- Pretty much, although certain types of games can get away with 'C' and OS.
