A *very* brief comment, since I don't want to distract from the main
discussion: if you talk to CoCo users, the very first thing you'll learn
is that the *only* stuff you should buy from Radio Shack is the CoCo itself,
the mouse, and the MPI.  All else can be had better inclusive-or cheaper
from third parties (and even the above might well be purchased from an
outfit like Computer Plus, which will sell them to you for less than they
cost at RS).  Rather than give a complete list, I would refer interested
folk to RAINBOW magazine.
