I so wanted a #Commodore #C64 but it was way too expensive. My family got together to buy me an #Amstrad #CPC 464 instead.
Loved that computer, and most of all, the included basic was excellent! This made me like the CPC even more, and I didn't really care that much about not having a c64.
But why was the C64 basic so bad? All is explained in this article.
