[Coco] The typical CoCo user is aged...?!?

[KnudsenMJ at aol.com]

I'm just barely 61.  I'm a "dad generation" -- bought the Coco partly  with 
the idea of teaching my young son to use computers, and to have games to  play 
together.  We got very heavily into some Coco games, and I wrote some  
instructional programs for him in BASIC (like Hangman), but I'm the one who  really 
took off with the Coco, doing OS-9 and C and writing that big MIDI  composing 
program.
 
I was already a computer design and programming professional when I got the  
machine, but I had lots of fun doing stuff that the computers at work (big  
mainframes and specialized telephone switches) couldn't do.
