That's amazing, isn't it? Our favorite $200 8-bit computer could run THREE video displays simultaneously back in 1986! Mainstream MS-DOS/Windows PCs couldn't do that until, what... the late 90's? And even then the needed to do it was definitely not cheap.
What a cool little machine we have.

Seriously? Does the term apples and oranges mean anything to you?
The PC can have totally differnt desktops or a really large one spread
accross multiple monitors. All three on the COCO will only display the
same thing and two of them with limited capabilities.
The COCO is a cool machine and has capabilites far beyond other
equivalent systems of the time, but lets at least keep it real.
