What's with you antagonists?!? The CoCo is a beautiful machine. I have a
friend who owns a CoCo I (Like mine) and a Tandy 1000. The 1000 is claimed
to run faster than the IBM PCs.. Well, we pulled a simple benchmark. With
BASIC, CoCo beat the 1000 twice over! When the 1000 ran the benchmark in
compiled Pascal, CoCo won by about 3:4! Then we tried it with CoCo having
taken Vitamin E. I won't bother to tell you the results. Now, from what
I hear, the CoCo III's graphics are great.. what; 64 colors, 640x192? I think
weve got a real competitor. All we need is some good Public Domain software.
Let's give a big hand to MikeyTerm.
Where can we post CoCo programs? Is there a net.sources.6809? I have
a few ML utilities I've written.. C'mon guys, lighten up!!
