Although I can't reveal sources, and while this isn't necessarily true,
there is good reason to believe that the Color Computer 3 will be a
really hot item.
 
First, Tandy WILL be coming out with 512K machines.
 
Second, Tandy will be dropping the prices on the CoCo 3 hard disk drives,
and making them more accessible.
 
Third, Tandy will be cutting prices on the CM-8 monitor, by as much as half.
 
Fourth, there should be some really awesome software out there running
under OS-9 Level II by the time the holidays roll around.
 
Finally, expect a bundled system price that will REALLY let the CoCo 3
make a big dent in the market.  Plus, some REDESIGNED parts that should
make it a nice computer.  (I hope that includes the keyboard.)
 
These changes could take place anywhere between September - December, but
while I can't vouch for their accuracy, I can say that I expect the CoCo 3
to be a really hot computer this fall.

P.S. It's already hot -- it's just going to be more popular, if this is
true.
