Christophe Coupez put his son Stanislas in front of an Amstrad CPC 464, what should be the final verdict ?

It seems that Amstrad forgot they made the Amstrad CPC+ if you take a look at the archived products page (which icon is an Amstrad CPC 464).

If you can read these lines, the web site is now up on the new server without problems.

A bit late, but happy new year 2015, may the Amstrad CPC shine on you. Good health too.
