I had a Commodore C16 when they first came out, within a few weeks I had to get a replacement as when text was scrolling up the screen odd letters and charactors would appear in what ever the listing was and scroll up too, and the machine wasnt very stable. Then once I received the replacement it worked fine until just a week or so after the warranty ran out and the datacorder stopped working :/ After that I think it was just thrown out....not exactly eco friendly lol
