True THAT!

Running a C compiler on a ~1MHz machine with 64k-128k might be a great
novelty item, but if you're going to REALLY be coding in C for the
machine, then use a modern machine for it.  It's just so much faster.

I use Visual Studio 2003 for my development projects, and I love the
"intellisense" that pops up the available functions, properties and
classes available at that point.  And debugging is so much better than
the days of Turbo C v1.0 (which I still have an original copy of,
BTW!)
