<P>Chris,
<P>The BBC Micro is the ONLY computer that Vince Clarke from Erasure uses!
<BR>In various interviews he has said that no other computer will do for
him. He absolutely swears by it! (or at it; whichever you prefer). :-)
<P>He has said it is a very dodgy, strange beast at best. But still his
very favorite.
<P>He uses it for all of the live sequencing bits and all of the studio
stuff as well.
<P>I don't know anything about the programing languages you mention though.
Sorry.
