[Coco] Goodbye, 2025, Hello CoCo 3 40th Anniversary

[Jim Brain (GCCC President)]

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the TANDY Color Computer 3 (announced 
July 30th, 1986). Thus, as we bid 2025 a fond farewell, I wonder what’s 
in store for one of the last major 8-bit systems to be introduced into 
the marketplace as it turns 40 in 2026. I’m excited to see what kinds of 
cool insights, software, and hardware will accompany this upcoming birthday.

Show runner Mark Overholser is working on the presentation schedule for 
Tandy Retro Show 2026 (tandyretroshow.com <https://tandyretroshow.com/>) 
for January 24th (and 25th, if presentations permit), but there’s still 
time for yours. With the turn into 2026, we’ll also be working to open 
up table reservations for CoCoFEST!

Stop by and join us this Thursday. We will open the call a bit early at 
7PM for some discussion and to help anyone with “technical difficulties”.
