[Coco] "The Shack" re-branding

[Bill Cousert]

I think someone like Radio Shack could do it and make some money.

Remember those video games a few years ago that were shaped like joysticks? They were complete Atari 2600 VCS systems complete with a rather large library of games. I think they sold for about $25.

Why not do the same for the Color Computer? It could be a small cube, perhaps three or four inches wide with a USB port for a keyboard and SVGA or HDMI out. It could use standard flash memory sticks instead of floppy drives

Now here's how you could make it a little interesting. Include a CD or DVD with a software development kit and have a contest. Top prize maybe $100,000. Encourage todays youth to push the Color Computer to its limits.

If you were to sell late seventies/early eighties type of computers (e.g. 1-MHz, 8-bit CPU w/ 64KB RAM) nowadays, I predict that 95% of your clientele would be old nostalgic chaps like us. I also predict you wouldn't sell millions of them...

We are strange birds, aren't we?
