[Coco] Color computer 2 educational version

[Steve Strowbridge]

That is Wicked Cool!

My Junior High was all Apple II when I was there, but when I got to high
school, they switched over to CoCos.
I was able to go back and visit and act as the CoCo consultant, and show
them all the cool things I was doing, what some of the awesome games and
music were like, and I remember showing off this really cool game in the
Rainbow that was in BASIC, but had 4 panels of assembly language scrolling
in it, and the teachers and the class were all just blown away.

It was nice to see the same pompous and elitist teachers who were all up
Apple's ass eat crow, if even for a day :)

I never understood why people would get so high and might on the Apple
being such a good computer, when the average kid really couldn't do
anything with it themselves, and the things I could do in BASIC on my CoCo
ran circles around AppleSoft BASIC.

I felt then, and I do now, that it doesn't matter what the machine is, it
really matters on what you can do with it, and the CoCo literally empowered
me, I felt pretty invincible when it came to what I could do in BASIC,
which is embarrassing at this point :)
