[Coco] Fuzix

[Al Hartman]

The answers to my questions seem to be.

1. Since it isn't real, just a promise of something that might happen in the 
future, there is no advantage to it.
2. Since it isn't real, there are no screenshots.
3. Since it isn't real, there are no apps.
4. Since it doesn't run on the Coco (or any 6809 based system), there is no 
advantage to "running" it.

Fuzix is wish-ware. It's all promise, and no reality yet. Like Haiku, 
ReactOS, Syllable and all the other free Open Source OSes I've been 
following for years. According to the links, there is no userspace yet. 
Maybe in a year or two, it will be in shape for end users. For now, it's 
just in it's beginning stages.

I don't understand all the excitement.

I'm not sure how one can be more specific than Alan in his post:

  * It's an operating system
  * It mimics System 5 UNIX
  * It is initially running on Z80 CPU, but the core has been ported to
    6809 and 6502
  * it is CPU portable
  * It is free, unlike most OS options
