Sounds like a Madison Avenue soundbite.  You would think there is 
nothing else going on in the CoCo world.  What can NitrOS-9 do the old 
CoCo couldn't?  It only does it faster.  Meanwhile, I've been slogging

useful out of it.  Might not happen, but, at least its not following a 
Madison Avenue trend.

WOW!  Very Frightening!  Since I've had to deal with a few fleet, 
CARRIERGRU and SUBGRU commanders and, also won a runin with Rickover, 
your angry presence just bowls me over with terror.
