Nice to see the clip, but also sad to recall the unlucky 264 history 
One little point: the so called Plus/4 internal programs was originally intended to be personalized. I mean the buyer should have had the option about which ROM was inside (WP or Spreadsheet, or Financiers, etc). What is said in the Youtube that CBM did plan to supply all the machines with 64K of productive SW is not correct.
After the SW development, CBM decided to put a unique lone ROM (32K) with a condensed version of the 4 single packages. The good Davide W. Johnson had only 30 days to make it all.
For this too I consider the 3+1 SW not so bad as much people thinks. For the time and the resource IMO he made a good work.
