Today Tandy announced 5 new computers. Mostly they were the
usual new '86 family stuff which I won't bore you with. The BIG
news is the New Color Computer! Yes, it's 128K (base, expandable
to 512K), yes, it's CoCo 2 compatible both in software and hardware,
(with Level 2 capability to support memory beyond the 64K barrier),
yes, it's 80 Column * 24 lines on the screen, yes, it shows 640 * 192
pixels (4 colors out of 64 in high res.), yes it has dual clock
speeds of.87 and 1.7 mHz, BUT, the price?
-> $219.00 <- (Take that Atari and Commodore!) for an entry
level system.
What people who don't know OS-9 are not mentally prepared for
in this announcement is: We already have the Application Software!
