I don’t get to use my Pi 400 as much as I’d like, but it sure is the “funnest” modern computer I have. It feels like the old days, thought he OS is completely non-old (except when the emulators are running).

I look forward to upgrading to a Pi 500 once they become more available.

I would take my Pi 400 with me (and a portable monitor, kinda like a tablet) on work trips to Chicago-area. At night in the hotel I’d fire up the XRoar emulator and sit at the desk doing CoCo BASIC stuff. Great times.

I have such little room on my tiny standing desk (no room for a chair) that the only thing I have on it is my laptop, backup hard drive, and a Pi 400. It’s not quite a CoCo, but under the right light, with that green screen emulator running, it will have to do.
