I also wrote my first program on a C64. I'm not sure about the Atom performance. I had one as well in a netbook, and I ended up giving it to my sister-in-law. I have been thinking that buying the cheap model, replacing the mobo with a mini-itx intel board, intel I series proc, and an intel SSD. My wife would never approve this, but I'm starting to be concerned about my work desktop. It might be best to replace my work desktop before it fails (wink, wink). My favorite old/new computer, beefed up, and all in time for the upcoming release of Slackware 13.37. Should any of this come to pass in the upcoming weeks, I will give a detailed report of the situation. Mr. B-o-B
