[Coco] Re: [Color Computer] end of discussion!

I'm gonna weigh in because some of your facts are incorrect. Netscape
had market share, which was only undercut by Microsoft's inferior (at
the time. I am not commenting either way about today) browser being
bundled with Windows.

That being said, Windows is the right tool for the job some of the
time. I, personally, wouldn't run a server with it... Others would,
and I'm fine with that... I would likewise not run my wife's desktop
with Linux.

It's funny how people see Stanley and Craftsmen as just tools, but get
zealous when talking about their computer tools... The only thing that
deserves that zealousness on this list is the CoCo itself, but that's
just my humble opinion :)
