         permission.

         ***  Attention  Tandy  Color  Computer  owners or prospective
         owners:

         While  I  can't  reveal  my  sources  at their request, I can
         confirm and clear up a rumour or two.

         It seems there is definitely a new Color Computer coming from
         Tandy.  Prototypes are being used to develop software even as
         you  read  this.   This  much  I  can  tell  you:  It will be
         compatible  with  previous  Color  Computers.   It  will have
         powerful  and  flexible graphics hardware.  It will have 512K
         of  RAM.   It will run OS9, and OS9 will be available for it.
         It  will  appear somewhere between March and May of 1986.  It
         is  being  manufactured right now, in an undisclosed location
         overseas.  It is not a myth.

         Again,  I  can't  reveal my sources, but I guarantee they are
         respected,  well  known  figures in the Color Computer world,
         and know of what they speak.

         I  hope  this  helps dispell a few rumours and worries any of
         you may have!
