That's probably what I'll do.

It runs fine; I just want it faster.

It's as fast as, and often faster than, any MS-Windows machine I've ever used. 
What are you using that's so much faster?

I do real work with mine all the time. I doubt you've ever realy even tried 
with yours. I'm convinced, by my own CoCo 3's performance, that you don't know 
what you're talking about.

I think you already have. You've completely discredited yourself in front of 
the whole CoCo comunity.
