[Coco] Coco as an alternative to Windows/Linux/Mac for basic application usage

[Bill Pierce]

I use my Coco 1, 2 & 3 to develope new software for the Coco. I work mostly in OS9 L2 and the C compiler, so most of my work is on the Coco 3 (and/or emulators) and NitrOS9.

I also use the Coco to manage my vast Coco software collection on my PC via DriveWire4. This as actualoly the area of my software developement at the moment... OS9 file management in a GUI environment.

It's also fun to write software that will download files from the net directly to the Coco.

And there's something nostalgic about pulling up Ultimuse3 and mousing in a tune or 2 to play through DW4 MIDI. The capabilities of Ultimuse3 never ceases to amaze me :-)
