[Coco] Introducing the next generation of Color Computer, the CoCo-X

[lciotti1 at gmail.com]

This happens a lot, even more so in the government contracting world.

The problem with this project, like any other project that is developed in an open environment is every one has idea of how things "should" be.  

In all reality how much of a lifespan and market is this going to have?  Right now we are part of a group that hacks away with a 30 year old computer, is it really going to matter if some thing is developed with technology the is a generation or two behind?

I could see this as being true. My work PC at "unnamed large financial institute I no longer work for" still have a floppy drive until the last one they replaced it with...even though in five years, not once did I ever have need for a floppy disk.

And we all ran Windows XP, a ten year old operating system :)
