[edit] "Raison d'être"???

What the heck does "raison d'etre" mean? Might want to change this header. --Anonymous

Thanks for mentioning it; I've now put in a lk to Wiktionary's definition of the term (which means "reason for existence"). --Wernher 23:05, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] C116

Should really be given greater mention in the article. Or at least a picture would be nice. The C116 was actually the normal or original version of this computer, intended to combat the low-low-low-cost market at the time taken by ZX-81s and Spectrums. Some managerial muppet though it would never sell in America so they got the Japanese engineering department to make the C16 for the American market. They're the same exact computer just in different cases (presumably they figured the ubiquitous 'breadbin' witha proper keyboard would sell better than the sleeker new 264/+4 case with dead-flesh keys).

It's sad really, the whole TED series debacle is a cringe-inducing story. Seek100 00:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
