Bil Herd Video on Commodore C116
C116 Video with Bil Herd

Thanks again to Rob Clarke who sent me a C116 in beautiful condition, A Joystick which I never thought I would see again, and a Jack Attack cartridge which was the one game we had going at the CES show when we demo'ed the TED/C116/264 series. The C116 had a sleek design and features ahead of their time considering the price tag of $49.  There is even a reason we went to DIN connectors for the Joysticks but you have to watch the video to find out why.

In addition to the really cool collection of old C116 stuff, Rob also sent a Christmas Card done on a C116, which proves we really did make pixels this way, way back when.
