For CoCo OS-9 users, it was SO GOOD. K-Windows was very much like OS-9 Level 2 windowing commands (text mode, overlay windows and such). But, you got a real mouse on top of it. Super easy to port code from BASIC09 and C with only minor changes.

I never dove into any of the advanced K-Windows features, though.

When I moved, I had little room, so I dug my MM/1 out of the storage unit first and used it for BBSing my first month in town. It was just nice to have an “all in one” plus monitor for that, versus my spread out CoCo system at the time.
