[Coco] too wordy?

[Wayne Campbell]

I use emulators because:

1. I don't have my old CoCo2 or 3 systems
2. I don't have money to spend buying one
3. Even if I did, the hardware is becoming extinct as far as long-term
replacement goes, and I am not a hardware tech to build replacements (like
fpgs)

Otherwise, I would have a real CoCo3 system with as much new stuff as I
could add to it.
