Keywords: CoCo3, Radio Shack, OS-9 Message-ID: Date: 9 Nov 90 00:34:32 GMT Followup-To: comp.os.os9 Distribution: usa Organization: NJ InterCampus Network, New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 21 Help!!! I have heard that Radio Shack is going to discontinue to sell the CoCo 3. Does this mean an end to us OS-9 users? As far as I know, OS-9 is not really used much anymore. Everything has been replaced by DOS or UNIX. Is this just a misconception (I hope)? Will Radio Shack market another CoCo compueter that can utilize OS-9? Will software still be available for OS-9, or will it be very hard to get. I have just invested in purchasing a CoCo3 and the OS-9 operating system. I don't want my system to be obsolete before I even have a chance to master it! Does anybody know what's going on? Please let me know. I like OS9 much better than DOS. It is MUCH simpler to use than UNIX. I have MUCH MORE programming power with OS-9 than I would with DOS. I don't want to see a good thing go!
