I have to blame my brother for that one. He was the one who supposedly knew what he was doing in terms of buying the right machine, but he was quite clearly clueless. He could have got a similar machine with 64K and more games etc for £30 less if he had looked in the right place. What a total moron. 
Not that I hate the C16, but the machine seems to have no purpose when something better is out that does the same thing.
Oh, and I remember that advert, the one with the two schoolkids going into the shop and buying the C16, and the guy at the counter giving them the penny change from £130. That's what swung it for us too.  The chances are greater than you may think of it surviving - if someone taped a movie back then with adverts, it probably would be on there if the film never got wiped... Wouldn't it be crazy to see that now? It's a pity you couldn't take holidays in time as well as space. Go to the travel agents and book a fortnights holiday at Christmas 1984!
