Paul,

Cute ;-)

No, my argument for using the Commodore 64 as a learning tool is that today's programmers are by and large sloppy when they write code (much as I am when posting on here). The solution to this is to teach them to use a "small" machine to program on. This will teach them the how to squeeze every last drop of performane out of a computer and will only help the industry in the long run.
