And no Apple 2E
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Even those Furby toys used a 6502 variant... with no Y register.

...when I heard that my Amiga 500 which I got later had an 6502 as keyboard
controller it was some kind of sacrilege for me, how can you downgrade something
that causes so much fun to handle keyboard input only...

If a 6502 was sufficient to run the Terminator, then the chess developers of the time will have a challenging job explaining why they weren't able to build GM level chess computers with it!
Writing is the antidote to confusion.
It's not "how smart you are", it's "how are you smart".
Your brain doesn't work the way you want, so train it!
