I love the C64. I know it inside and out. But I wonder if perhaps I'm wasting my time making C64 games. There seems to be a segment of the community who thinks everything should be free, and damn me for needing to eat.
Not that I have much to bitch about. The C64U I bought has earned me back more than it cost to buy. And because I used it to earn, I can claim it as a professional tool and therefore an expense.
