[Coco] RE: [Color Computer] Linux a cousin to OS-9

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

I support nitr09 and the projects by supporting Cloud 9 and buying the 
products they offer. I know I can download it for free, but one of the first 
things I bought was a copy from Cloud 9. If I had more money I would 
definatly donate to a fund that equaly supported each contributer. If each 
contributer were selling stuff, I would suport each and every one of them. I 
know Boisey probably would like to keep Cloud 9 separate from the nitrOS-9 
project, but you can't argue that him and Mark are a BIG resource to the 
CoCo comunity. I honestly think that they are the Biggest effort driving the 
hobby. I would GLADLY pay for nitrOS 9 (and I did from Mark). I have never 
used the cc6809 compiler and if I do use it, I would gladly pay for the 
rights to use it. Everybody has to make a living, and if you use a product 
you should be willing to pay for it.
