Recent Wintel machines can turn themselves on and off, but anyway. I
repeatedly become interested in the CoCo, and then lose interest again. What
I wonder is this: I suppose I could find the package below for a relatively
low price. But, I have two problems with those old home machines: they use
composite monitors, and they are usually 320X240. solutions? Speaking of
composites, I have an IBM CGA card that has a flicker whenever I type
something. Solutions?

<< Funny... My CoCo can support multiple users, and it wasn't expensive at
all... $200 for the machine, $300 for the floppy drive, $129 for OS-9 and
$50 for the 13" color TV I bought at a garage sale... still cheaper than an
single-user IBM box at the time, even when you add the $50.00 RS-232 cart
and the $139 multi-pak so I could connect at up to 19200 bps with my Tandy
200...
Speaking of my T200, it can turn itself on and off... can a Wintel box do
that??? ;-)
