|  Regarding the C16/plus4 prices
Lando, you say that the C16 cost £40 more than the plus4. Are you sure about that? I got a C16 18 years ago, the appeal of it being that it was a cheaper, cut-down C64. If the plus4 had been that much cheaper, we would have got that instead, but I don't remember it being at that price. Maybe it was in 1985 that happened, because I had a cousin who got a plus4 the year after me, god knows where it is now, probably in the bin- damn. Apart from that, I never knew anyone who had a plus4, and I alway thought it was price that put people off.
Was it really 99% of games that were 16K? I thought that there were more than that. I still don't understand why Commodore released two machines trying to do the same thing. One is enough.
As far as the Timex machines go, they were very similar yes, but they had huge incompatibility problems - most Spectrum games didn't work on them as far as I know.
How do you people get those smilies to appear on the page?
