That's amazing, isn't it?  Our favorite $200 8-bit computer could run THREE video displays simultaneously back in 1986!  Mainstream MS-DOS/Windows PCs couldn't do that until, what... the late 90's?  And even then the needed to do it was definitely not cheap.
What a cool little machine we have.

Seriously?  Does the term apples and oranges mean anything to you?
The PC can have totally differnt desktops or  a really large one spread
accross multiple monitors.  All three on the COCO will only display the
same thing and two of them with limited capabilities.

The COCO is a cool machine and has capabilites far beyond other 
equivalent systems of the time, but lets at least keep it real.
