[Coco] colorburst

[Bruce W. Calkins]

The term is "Vaporware."  Yet another great idea that never became reality. 
I have in my possession several CoCo items some here have never seen.  I 
have not seen the "Colorburst" anywhere other than that advertisement.  At 
$999 I doubt enough interest was shown to develop it beyond the speculation 
stage.
