Who will buy a Pi500+.
It may sell within the niche market of makers and enthusiasts. But it's definitely not "a nice little 'Home' computer" for the masses. I can't see any use for it in the "Home" division someone suggested at the very start of viewtopic.php?t=391281 thread, nor in the "Home Deluxe" section I proposed.
It certainly brings a smile to my face because of the retro fun factor, but for practical home or educational use it has more quirk than needed. For those markets the regular PI500 will still do nicely, and that for half the cost of a Pi500+.
