I'd say he's mostly right.
tape loading has always been very long (except with some turbo loaders) and errors were common (for people using pirated tapes, also azimuth..).

well, I didn't watch the clip.
anyway, you're free to make a better youtube clip about C=64 and tape loading.

I think I'm with you here. Only a few days ago I saw a Windows 7 Quad Core laptop with 4GB of ram take at least 10 minutes to actually load the desktop and be in a usable state. Crazy.
And load times from cassette tapes really aren't that bad. I think most of my C64 cassette games load up quicker than the average persons PC boots up.
As for UK users with 1541's, I only knew one, and he got his C64 rig in 1996... I don't have a 1541 either as I'm happy with my tapes and always have been. Might get a 1541 Ultimate one day though, but I do like loading games from tape.


maybe you should try loading Win7 from tapes? :)
