3.5? wow, i always thought that the name meant it had 20K... like the C64 and C128. but no. now, almost 30 years later, i learn that it had 5K, 1.5 of them used by the system (you wouldn't want to leave the system without ram, would you?) i never had a vic-20 (my first computer was the atari st-1040 in 1988), but a friend of mine had one in the early 80's and i always wondered at all the things you could do with the thing. i couldn't program, so i used to sit next by him telling him my ideas for a program for algorithmic composition, that he tried to code.
