   It looks okay, BUT the video I watch seemed to show it running on an   
   Apple Mac (you could see the MacOS traffic light window gadgets in the   
   top-left corner) emulating a C64, which *could* be kind of misleading   
   about the speed.   
      
   GEOS is a much better looking GUI OS for the C64, although potentially   
   slower due to the more graphical nature.
