How times have changed.... Macintosh used to be the system with

I don't recall that ever being claimed.
I do. Perhaps not in Apple's ads, but certainly in user groups and
such around the upheaval of Win95.
Software updates on the Mac have been as frequent as anything else
What you don't always have to do is refresh your hardware to run the
latest OS
I've got a vintage iMac running 10.3.9 just fine downstairs it's
nearly 10 years old
Question is: can it out run a C64 with a datasette drive? ;-)
I would use the 1540 5" floppy drive myself. The datasette was too slow.
Lets see. The C64 used 32Kb for it's System which left 32Kb for
programs and ram data. It would be a bit of a squeeze I think. And
the 1 MHz clock speed would slow things down a bit more than my G5
iMac vs. the Intel iMac.
