> 1) Has anyone developed a new (and better!) gui for OS-9?

Nope.  MultiVue, when properly patched, was cool, but think of what we 
could do today -- now that GUIs have really evolved and so many new 
ideas are there.  Who would have imagined the "START" button or the 
DOCK back in the 80s?

When I get my CoCo up again (or the emulator), I'll be running the CoCo 
with a flash drive and finally free myself of all the bulk of the 80s.  
That will be so nice.

RadioBall was very fun and playable.  Zaxxon was great (the original 
with Z'89 looking and sounding better but not seeming as special) but 
... I'd think there are even more "lost" styles of games from the 80s 
that are due a rebirth.
