[Coco] OS-9 on Raspberry Pi

[Joe Grubbs]

Hahaha... I've always been a Unix person, ever since I learned TRS-Xenix when I was a kid on my dad's Model 16A. As an adult I've always had a Linux box on hand, but have also resorted to Windows for certain unavoidable things (like work, using iTunes, etc). 

Back in 2008, the startup I worked for was acquired by Microsoft and I was, admittedly (*sigh*), a Microsoft employee until the day in 2010 that they closed our office. Opting not to move to Redmond, I stayed in NC and found another job, life goes on. 

However, the one perk of having been an MS employee is access to the company store, where I can score copies of software for cheap :)  Weirdly though, I've never actually bought any of their software for myself. It's family or friends that want it. My Windows box at home is still rocking XP.
