- Abso-damn-lutely! If you get a good price on the '81, go for it. Put Jiffy-dos
- on board and watch how fast your 64 programs load in. You won't have the time
- to go for that sandwich like you used to while loading in a program. :-)
- There was a program that I bought years ago on cassette (I *said* years ago)
- that took 35 minutes to load in. I found the same program on disk (5 1/4) This
- took 3.5 minutes. On my '81 with JD, 15 secs!!!!!
- Ain't technology great?
