|  Re: Commodore History Part 4 - The Plus4, C16, and C116
I think David did about as accurate a summary of the 264 family as it's reasonable to expect from a Youtuber. A couple of errors, but nothing major, and I liked that he stressed how nice a development machine the Plussy is and showed off some demos that really emphasize what can be done with TED's 121 colour palette.
My only real disagreement with him is over his assertion that a more aggressively priced C16 could have competed with the ZX Spectrum. He seems oblivious to just how huge the Speccy was outside of the US and the colossal library of games it had. I always thought Commodore's plan to compete with Sinclair, even if the C116 had launched at the intended $49, was DOA.
