It began to work again!  So I am hurry to add my humble opinion. 
I agree with TLC that +4 is almost perfect machine for many ppl (me included). +4 is very plain and logical. It calls to explore itself. Its built-in Basic and especially Monitor language are very good as programming and teaching tools. I had feeling of lack of something only once. I worked with Amstrad PCW8512 and PCW9512 (best cp/m computer ever) at late 80s. I wanted 80 columns screen for +4 too this time.
[MMS] I wrote subroutine for the fast line drawing about 20 years ago. There is also raw demo of its speed capability. I can estimate its speed at 20-100x of standart Basic's subroutine speed. It is easy to extend it for any ovals. Is there such a program for +4? I wanted to improve demo many times... ;-( Should I publish raw demo or scene should wait inpredictable inspiration for its author?
