The pun was completely unintentional. :D
I encounter that realization of plenty fast every time I load a disk on
my Commodore 64 and remember that the wait never felt like a big deal to
me at the time. It feels like free time was just more plentiful back
then for some reason. Either time has sped up or everything else did
while I slowed down.

Back in the day, people would have laughed at that statement, but I think it is often
true. This little computer will get you where you're going eventually and for many of us
that is "plenty fast".

Heh. Yes, a frame capture device will do that for you. :-D

P.S. Thinking about "plenty fast", I realized that BASIC on the Model T
computers has, over the years, grown to become my favorite 8-bit development environment.
Anybody else feel the same?
