Thank you foir the link!
Pretty good summary, even supported by Bill Herd! I think if anyone, he knows what was the real project target 
Maybe I am on the surface level, but I found all information correct and accurate. And I also think the biggest failure was the 16K RAM of C116 and C16, with 32K, better initial games and easier expandability (over 64K, maybe with open memory slots) this line could be a killer small office machine. Sure, a lower starting price (150USD or lower) would help a lot too...
I may call the Mr.Puniverse "32K" a smaller mistake (as it became >16K due to crack), but in fact it is a 32K game now
Very nice that some of the recent games and demos (congrats, Larry! ) listed too. and I think he is correct to call the Summer and Winter events one of the best 16K games, though Tom Thumb is in most people's heart.
