[Coco] Re: Again: CoCo user age chart updated

Rumor has it that Torsten Dittel may have mentioned these words:
>>Trend line seems to be smoothing.

>Yes. And there's still some preference (kind off saddle points) for ages 
>34 and 56 (people were 12 and 34 years old in 1983, maybe the "sons" & 
>"dads" ;-))))

37 currently, ++ in July.

Bought my first CoCo2 in '84 when I was a Senior in High School; 16K and 
Extended Basic. Expanded it to 64K by myself, then sold the system when the 
CoCo3's came out - had the first one in the area. I still have that CoCo3 
(now 512K, dual (or triple) floppies, OS-9 Level II) but it's not currently 
set up due to space constraints, but I'm working on that. ;-)

After that, I had a Tandy PC-2 pocket computer, then "upgraded" that to a 
Tandy 200 laptop w/floppy drive - Altho I'll never give up my 200 (That's 
what I'd prefer to be buried with - it runs longer on batteries... ;-) ) I 
do wish I still had the PC-2. <sniff>

I now have several CoCo1's, 2's, and 3's, plus some rather collectible 
hardware (Prototype FHL Multipak System being the centerpiece of the 
collection) but not a lot of room for them, so they're currently in my 
3rd-floor attic space until the house remodeling has been undertaken, and I 
have a bigger office space to use.

Ah well... back to work. Laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
