      I've said this before.. the problem is because adding code is perceived as "free". Hardware dev is "healthier" because there's always some physical limits you must face, whereas fixing the immediate problem in software by adding more code is "free".

      Everybody should code a couple of games for the zx spectrum. There's actual limits for software there.

      You can learn everything you need to know (or even can know!) about zx spectrum in one evening.

      always seemed like such a pain to program :) z80 asm with slow cassette based storage, vs Turbo Pascal off of an HDD.

      Good side in doing it today is that you can use sdcc to compile c to speccy. It also underlines the control you give up in writing in higher level language, as you hit those hardware resource limits faster (and it's less clear when you do)

      So would having to pay for each line be a solution then?

          Not immediately though. That's why I said "free" - and the immediate problems always feel more important..
