I am New to the CoCo, I got my first CoCo, a CoCo 3 in the Summer of 
2013 as an "Extra Computer" with an Apple //e Platinum System...   I 
wasn't sure what to do with it, since it wasn't an Apple ][, but after 
finding it had a Motorola, 6809 chip, I was interested in learning 6809 
Assembler..

Since then I added a Late Model 64K Extended Basic CoCo 2 with the Lower 
Case, and an MPI ( Not CoCo 3 Ready ), and in the Summer of 2015 got a 
16K Standard BASIC CoCo 2 with a Bonus ( Non Working ) 4K CoCo 1, that 
worked Fine after it arrived, and in the Fall of 2015, another MPI that 
coincidentally, is CoCo Ready...


In December of 2016, I added to my Collection one of the last Tano 64K 
Dragons from California Digital..


The CoCo 3 is the one I have Out on the Desk, ( actually it's sitting on 
an Apple Color Monitor ][e that I use as it's Display ) with the CoCo SDC.

I like the CoCo 2 64K, because it will run a few things the CoCo 3 
won't, and I like the CoCo 1, because it's 4K, and it Totally Classic, 
like my 1979, 64K Apple ][...
