Before my coco3 died from old bad caps, the last monitor I put on it was 
a 15" LCD color, off lease from a grocery store checkout. Found it on 
fleabay for $50.  Included a touch screen output I was going to write a 
driver for, which would have replaced the mouse driver I had been using 
for 20 years, but never found a round tuit to do.  My os9 mouse/joystick 
was dead stable, used regular PC mice and the click point was exactly 
the tip of the pointer, with none of the tandy/coco mouse's infamous 
spasticity.  Then Amiga's and eventually linux got in the way.  Then I 
got busy with LinuxCNC, and a garage full of metal carvers, and 
eventually 3d printers driven by OpenSCAD output. All running some form 
of linux. I've owned a winders box all of a week in the ensuing 30 
years.  Now I'm 91, retired for 23 years, alone for 5 and diabetes has 
been trying to put a ~30~ on my story for about 50 years.
