SID was a chip with both digital and analog sides to the die and can do a lot of things still, making them sought after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

SID was the Commodore 64 sound generator chip. While rest of that era personal computers and game console could just do fancy beeps at most, SID had a programmable synthesizer.

the joke was on that "sid vs soundblaster" argument there was on the whole irc channel back when it actually had a lot of people

which transitioned smoothly into the amiga vs pc debate a few years later

how many useless debates on computers have there been???

  • sid vs soundblaster
  • amiga vs pc
  • cisc vs risc
  • vim vs emacs
  • and probably more but those are all i can think of rn

edit:

  • windows vs linux
  • linux vs bsd
  • android vs iphone

edit 2:

  • systemd vs sysvinit

And the printed manual that came with the computer showed you how to program it.
