my biggest bitch about the C64 is the disk hardware being dodgy. 1541s are the touchiest things I've ever stuck a disk into. You bust em open, "fix" them, and stick in one disk that it hates, and it goes BRNFRJKGNRDGJfkg and you are back to square 1.

sure you can get a 1571. But then it doesn't match your bread-bin anymore, so you have to get a matching 64C!

then comes my unanswered to this day question of: "Why are the VIC II colors all dim/washed out compared to the CPC, etc."

they really are. I don't know if its the CHOICE of colors, or what. You display a CPC and a C64 on the same screen (real hardware), and there's this massive difference in vibrance/lushness of color

maybe all the effort went into the SID instead.
