I hear that the COCO III is dead in Canada and has 1-2 years life left in
the U.S.. I also hear that there are no plans to replace this powerful piece
of hardware either.

The COCO III's  size and purchase price has always been 'Good Bang For The Buck'
and this combined with OS-9 Level II leave the MS-DOS machines dead in their
tracks in my opinion.

For a machine that sold so well, I kind of wonder why Tandy is dumping the
COCO ? Is the COCO so good that Tandy's other inferior MS-DOS machines are
being threatened ?

Oh well, the COCO III will remain as my work horse for some time. When I
do move on to another, it shall be something else other than a Tandy machine.
