I wouldn't think that anyone would complain about the CoCo keyboard
anymore, now that RS provides one with a standard-touch.  There have
been three CoCo keyboards: "chiclet", semi-acceptable low-profile keys,
and their latest, a full-travel square-key keyboard.  Granted, it still
isn't a full-ASCII standard (no ESC, control keys) but you can generate
the entire ASCII character set under OS-9, with very little trouble.
Given Radio Shack OS-9, Frank Hogg Labs' "O-Pak" for hi-res 51 column
characters, a screen editor like "DynaStar" and the Microware C compiler,
you can have a VERY reasonable C development system for less than $800.
