I think that most of the problem revolves around the fact that Tandy is
not really competing effectively against Commodore or Atari.  The CoCo 3
is the best route to go for a low cost multi-tasking machine.  The Amiga
does have a multi-tasking kernal in it's OS, but it's a beast to use,
thanks to the lack of hardware memory management.  The ST is just a
game machine, nothing more.  But, Atari got started with video games,
they now have a machine that's more powerful than there other 400/800
6502 based game machines.  The CoCo may be marketted by the Shack as
a game machine, but it's only one out of the 3 that allows for good
expansion at low cost, and you can take your CoCo to ANY Tandy outlet
for servicing.
