|  Re: Missed opportunities with the Plus 4
Targeting the plus/4 as a "business computer" had probably been one of the first of the many bad marketing decisions about to come in those years, that eventually led to the bankruptcy of Commodore. That really tells us who used to be the real marketing genius at the company...
Actually, after the failure on the US market, Commodore did target the 264 line as a cheap learning machine for home use in Europe but it was already too late by then. It can still be considered as a minor success here, though, albeit not when comparing it with the C64, of course.
