Comparing an MSX to a PC is not really fair, I think. And that would be
exactly the reason why I'm still using the MSX - it's possible to easily
create things on the MSX, which is practically impossible using a PC when
you don't study any assembly language. And even if you do, there will be
nobody interested in what you make, since there are lots of companies still
producing software for the PC.
But to be honest, the last time I really used the MSX has been some time
ago... I translated Randar 2, and sometimes I still use TED since I do have
two MSX-computers and don't have two PC's, and I will be able to continue
writing certain documents whether I am in Leiden or in Winsum... And that's
about it... There's very much talk about MSX lately, but anything good is
hardly released.
I guess MSX is becoming more a nostalgia to me than a serious hobby...
Although I zealously used the MSX for quite some time.
Rieks.
