@AncTreat5358@lgbtqia.space Yeah I always heard people saying good about the CoCo but never really got to use one. I was intrigued by the 6809.
I had used (and enjoyed) a TRS-80 Model III, and later I worked at a Radio Shack Computer center for a couple of months (during which I sold a Tandy 4000 Xenix system for a nice commission), but I was mostly a Commodore kid.
But the Amiga was, up until about 1998, the machine I was really after.

@ben@s.djehuti.com I had a CoCo 2 and then upgraded to a CoCo 3. I learned assembly language on the 6809E, and also learned to program the speech synthesizer cartridge (which was really cool, learning how to leverage phonemes!). That's really neat you worked at a Radio Shack. That was my major hangout place as a kid.

@AncTreat5358@lgbtqia.space Then at that point I became a Mac user.
