I had a ZX81 for a while and found it utterly infuriating to do anything on. However, when I started PIC programming, I was surprised at just how straight forward it was to do. Personally I like RISC programming and since trying a BBC, I have never looked back. I run and always have run RISC computers in my business. I have a physical RISC PC which acts as a server for my network CID system and VirtualRPC on the Microsoft machine. I tend to use the best platform for the particular job, rather than make do with the yank's idea of what I need. ;-)
