   What about Atari 8bit (400, 800 and so on) VS Commodore 64? ;-)   
      
   The C64 and Amiga were the only "home computers" I owned. Now and then I   
   try to emulate computers I never had, never even heard of until now. When   
   I tried the Atari 800 and loaded VisiCalc (went down to some serious   
   business ;-) I noticed it would boot from the disk after power-on. Is   
   that true that the Atari did this or just a convenient feature of the   
   emulator? For the C64 you had to load any program manually.

   I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often   
   as I have to reboot my computer.
