[Coco] NitrOS-9 EOU (Ease of Use) Beta 5 released

[Wayne Campbell]

My laptop is a win 10 box. I haven't had any problems with viruses so far,
and I've had this computer for almost 3 years. I never was a big windows
fan, but I haven't been able to afford to build a linux box, and I really
don't want to learn a new OS now. I'm going on 65 and have better things to
do with my time (like coding for the CoCo).
