[Coco] Which do you prefer and why? CoCo 1/2/3

[Bill Pierce]

I started with a 16k Coco 2 (CB), traded a friend for a Coco 2 64k (ECB), then purchased a disk drive, then a 512k Coco 3.

I now have a working Coco 3, the "FrankenCoco" (1 meg, cooling fan, Eagle AT keyboard, MPI, FD-502, Glenside IDE, Orch90, MIDI pak), 2 non working Coco 3s (512k), 2x Coco 2s (both 64k, melted keyboards), a Coco 1 (F board, RS upgraded 64k, chicklet keys), and a Coco3FPGA w/Analog Board (4 meg).

Since I mainly use NitrOS9, I (of course) prefer my Coco 3 and Coco3FPGA, but occasionally crank up the Coco 1 & 2 for old stuff.
