I have a better offer for Atarians.
Post your flames about how useless multi-tasking is to
the Coco newsgroup comp.sys.m6809.
We'd be glad to have the extra traffic.
And to tell you how great it is to have a multi-tasking
OS9 Level 2 with windows and graphics, all on a $129 "toy"
computer from Radio Shack.
I like compiling, editing 2 files, and printing all at once.
And I'm reminded of this when I have to use a PClone
and can't just go to another window from the program I'm
running, which never seems to have a shell escape either
(Shell?  In MSDOS?  Sorry, another OS/9 term slipped in..)
