The VIC 20 was awesome, I don't care what anyone says. Really good stuff, able to use memory cartridge expansions, tape decks, 5 1/4 drives...I had both that and the C64. The only thing I didn't have was the printer, I even had a modem. 400 ish baud anyone?
Man I miss those.
EDIT: You know in about 10 years, people are going to be saying "What? PCI-E 2.0 and DDR3? Man you guys are old! Wait, you're saying you used to have optical drives that only burned CDs and DVDs? And your hard drives had moving parts?! What is this nonsense?!"
The MacBook air is $1,500 for the basic setup, for $1,000 you can buy a MacBook with the regular configuration that beats the MacBook air in everything accept the screen (LCD VS LED) and weight were the MacBook air weighs 2 pounds less then the MacBook. And if you wanted the LED screen you could pay $1,200 for a MacBook Pro and have the LED screen along with it only weighing 1.5 pounds more then the MacBook air.
Oh wait I forgot that you can put a MacBook air into an envelope that means it doesn't suck.
