Agreed.  Considering the number of Commodore micros already in the wild, you'd think they'd have improved the BASIC for the VIC and 64, as these were intended for non-computer savvy people.

I vaguely remember reading about this in magazines, but never actually seen one.  After looking it up online, I can see why.  It was only around for two year and had low specs.  No way could it have competed with the likes of the C=64 or even the Atari 400.  However, it did not pre-date the 64.  The VZ-200 came out in '83, while the 64 came out a year earlier.
