What would you do if you were the CEO of Commodore Computers?

[BruceRMcF]

"Let's release a cost reduced version of the C64 that leverages its large and growing catalog of games by omitting the keyboard required to run a large percentage of those games!!!!"

I would have siphoned off 15% annually all parts/manuctured devices/printed material/digital media, packaged in humidity resistant containers, into non-descripted warehouses somewhere in North Dakota so that they may lie in wait for the day that Gen X resurrected demand - super charged with disposable income, off the charts nostalgia, and the desire to once an for all vanquish the IBM-M$-NABU Computer Industrial Complex. On January 1st, 2025 when retro computing has reached a fever pitch, I'd have my heirs open up the a single page of instructions that have been safely tucked away in somebody's attic, with a map, 6 digit combination, and a note that simply says, "LOAD *, 8, 1".

I would cancel thé plus/4 and replace it with three computers

In 1986 I would release thé Turboplus with an 65C816 AT 3MHz 128k or 256k ram and also thé last 8-bit machine thé

Commodore 256Turbo

that is an C128plus with thé Turboplus Addon and an internal disk drive an all in a desktop case
