In two weeks I will register, and add it again. Anyhow I want to add some comments, like Plus/4 was "originally it was created to change C64". B*llshit.
They wanted to make competition to ZX Spectrum, as C64 could not compete with it in the price segment (that's why they made rubberkey C116 also to attarct Spectrum huys like the feeling).
The unclear marketing -the aim of the product- was the main source of failure (everyone expected C64 killer performance, while compared to C64 games inital ones were weak, especially limited by the 16KB limit).
Eg. that why my current company make BIG color-coding of all products, make clear segmenation of mainstream, upmarket, etc groups, just by seeing the color of the box.
