/me grins...I would sooooo like to agree with you (and many others do - I still get mails fom people who are listening to our old SID stuff) for loyalties sake alone, but I think the furthest I can go is to say that "music was most fun when *conceived* for the SID chip" :)
Yes, I loved it too - it was my living for many a year - but 3 voices can get a bit tiresome after 300 tunes - believe me :) The C64 remix movement on the other hand is great! Quite bizarre hearing something that was written for a rock goup *in my head*, realised via 3 voices (dum dum *cha* dum dum dum *cha* dum) and then played by a live group 20 years later. (That's them in the background of my home-node picture, BTW). Not to mention my 5c-per-copy royalties :)
Cheers

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
