Let the flame wars about CoCo versus Commodore commence... now!

Off-topicness aside, I appreciate the pic.

Not that you're guilty of this, and to make this a bit more on-topic, 
but my teenage self always was so annoyed when they would put computers 
in films in the 1980s that were showing some unbelievable content on the 
monitor and the keyboard never had any wires connected to it.  Like all 
of our 80's micro computers were "wireless".  Oh, how I wish they had been!

Note: For the record, the Commodore cannot support so may drives at one 
time (Sorry, David Ladd :-). The CBM serial bus  (think I2C bus, but 
less byte oriented) was an open collector design, with pullup resistors 
on each device.  As such, after 4 devices (printers, drives, etc.), the 
bus was pulled high with such force that the drivers could not pull it 
low.  4 was the comfy max, with 5 devices possible on a good day :-).
