[Coco] [Color Computer] The evolution of the Coco..

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

John (and the rest)
Don't get me wrong. I know that CoCo/ XP platform will never work, XP is so 
bloated that you could nevre shrink the kernal to fit it that small. Not 
even NT (NT 4, which to this day is probaly one of MS most stable products 
in my opinion). I am just stating that no mater where I go, Linux is being 
stated as "The holy Grail" of the IT world, by the zelots out there (and I 
am not saying anyone here is a Zelot). UNIX itself if not even being 
debated- just Linux. I would love to see MS bring back Xenix-(buy back the 
rights). My opinoin (and its just mine) is -I am not going forced into a 
product that is taking the market by about 3-5% a year, and the "big" 
computer manufactures (Dell, IBM, etc) have no confidence in the product on 
the consumer level. I know you might say that this is because lisensing 
parterships with Bill and the boys), but the average consumer is the one 
still who does have the final say.

BTW - I do know this will get me in a bit of trouble, but keep in mind, its 
just an opinion, If Mac hadn't used A flavour of Linux of OS 10, it would 
even be less popular, because the Mac people really had no choice except to 
stay with OS9.
