[Coco] New CoCo Ideas

[Kevin Diggs]

James,

	I must disagree with your power statement. According to a watt meter,
my Toshiba satellite (a 650 p3) uses around 20 watts (including its LCD
display.
this drops to 10 when the backlight switches off). The same watt meter
registers
about 20 watts for the coco alone. A monitor or TV will boost that by 60
to 80
watts. The coco itself uses about 5 watts. But it has that ineffieient
linear
power supply.
