#PAINT PROGRAM
The general feeling in PHX amoung the MOTOROLA users is that the days of the
COCO are numbered. Motorola designed the machine, and all the following mods
came out of one of the local delevopment areas in the plant where I work. R.S.
has not done much lately with the COCO. They asked for a 512ST copy about 6-8
months ago, then dropped out. As my source says, "Lots of fire drills, but no
fire." The posibilities of a 68K COCO are there, but the chances of a system
with the RMS graphic system are very small. R.S. seems to be involved in
MS-DOS/INTEL machines now.
– One of the members of the team I mentioned (of developers) bought his AMIGA
last friday. I use a DESKPRO and an AT full-time at work. The IBM is BORING,
the COMPAQ is ho-hum but the AMIGA is a blast. What other machine out can speak
what you type in one line of BASIC code? Didn't get home 'til 1:00 A.M. cause
of one line of code. Too much fun like that will cause me to loose too much
sleep. I don't think my wife will put up with it for another machine… but I
have to try.
I will enjoy the graphics and speed and multi-tasking. Mainframe abilities at
home. My coco will end up in the closet.
