What's with you antagonists?!?  The CoCo is a beautiful machine.  I have a
friend who owns a CoCo I (Like mine) and a Tandy 1000.  The 1000 is claimed
to run faster than the IBM PCs.. Well, we pulled a simple benchmark.  With 
BASIC, CoCo beat the 1000 twice over!  When the 1000 ran the benchmark in
compiled Pascal, CoCo won by about 3:4!  Then we tried it with CoCo having
taken Vitamin E.  I won't bother to tell you the results.  Now, from what
I hear, the CoCo III's graphics are great.. what; 64 colors, 640x192?  I think
weve got a real competitor.  All we need is some good Public Domain software.
Let's give a big hand to MikeyTerm.
   Where can we post CoCo programs?  Is there a net.sources.6809?  I have
a few ML utilities I've written.. C'mon guys, lighten up!!
