"Wow, I can't believe I had this many days in a row with an hour or so of
free time to work on something other than finishing this danged game!
Wouldn't it be great to be a programmer in about twenty years? Imagine
having computers that could _emulate_ the hardware I have to fight with
all day so that I don't have to burn an EPROM every time I want to test
my software. Imagine being able to write a great game in your free time
and have 5 days a week to find a more appealing and less stressful job!
Imagine being able to send code for revision and optimization to scores
of programmers in every country of the world... IN SECONDS!!! No
burn-out from having to continuously invent brand new code. No worries
about whether the new code will have some silly mistake that screws up
the screen's timing... Heck, I could forget what I was doing and come
back to it months later! Wow, imagine the games that some of us could
put out in just our spare time!
