Hola Per, I knew you were a 6809 guy, and was wondering when you'd weigh in on this topic :). > The Dragon was actually a clone of the CoCo -- I don't think it was > licensed or endorsed by Tandy, but someone else could probably tell > you more if you're curious.

That's the cool thing about the CoCo guys -- they are extremely well organized and are still very active. They even have meetings around the country -- except for demo parties, I don't think the C-64 has ever had something similar (apart from user-group shows). Even moreso than C-64 users, they didn't get much support but got lots of documentation. They learned how to survive very early on, and so have remained pretty healthy. Well, I just think it's interesting to see how other 8-bit communities cope with their present situation :). > PS: yes, I want one. :) I think I paid $18 for mine -- they are pretty cheap here. In all seriousness, if you can find one I might be able to buy it and send it to you. -S - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
