Someone threw away a Commodore C-64 in my back alley yesterday;  I
could not resist taking my screwdriver, and cracking it open to see
what was under the hood -- amazing to see the high quality, and doing
so much with so little...  rather like the Timex/Sinclair ZX-81
(which used FORTH to implement BASIC).
Where, oh where is the "maximize your bang-per-buck" methodology gone
to, these days?  Is the MISC list the last refuge?
