[Coco] CoCo4! 50% done!

[Bill Loguidice]

It's funny how one can expect hate comments for mentioning liking an OS. My
main mobile platform (outside of my Galaxy Note II phone, which I'll be
happy to replace for a giant iPhone if it comes out) is a Surface Pro 2
with Windows 8.1, which replaced a touchscreen ultrabook and an iPad 2. The
Surface Pro 2 works great when I want to use it like a tablet or Cintiq,
plus I can get real work done using it like a laptop (and it's great for
marathon Civilization V sessions too ;-) ). It certainly runs all of the
emulation duties I throw at it with aplomb, including for the CoCo. So no,
I'd say you're definitely not alone in your assessment.
