Hi,

My name is Martin Heermance and I'll introduce myself. I was in high school
during the eight bit era, While I owned an Atari, I had a friend who had a
CoCo Model 1. When I saw OS-9 I was impressed by the CoCo, but at the time
floppy drives were insanely expensive, so it was out of my league.

Fifteen years ago I bought a TI-99 and CoCo 2 to show my kids what
computers were like. It turned out to be a great idea because
plugging cartridges into a system was so intuitive. So they enjoyed some of
the old eight bit games.

I've continued to play with them since then, including getting a coco SDC
and installing NitrOS-9.

Martin
