I know it's taboo to talk about the TRS-80 and its descendants in C64 company, but did anyone else have a CoCo3? Loved that thing to death. Neatest feature about it was that it had the OS in ROM, but dumped it to RAM. So you could just use the OS designated RAM for your own flavor. Like getting the third-party ADOS and going through the commented code to tweak your OS to your liking, changing disk read times, etc. It was a lot of fun.

Cool! I wish I still had the hardware I picked up at an auction a few years ago. A full C64 with monitor and drive, plus a couch and a desk for $9 :) But I moved around too much and shed a lot of luggage. I just picked up an Asus T100 tablet since they're cheap now, run Win10 and also capable of side-loading Linux. I wonder if the touch mechanism would translate through to the emulation on the tablet. What a geek triumph that would be: "Like my new tablet? It's runs Commodore VBASIC"

In some cases we see publication fees in the thousands of dollars. Double dipping to profit off the knowledge generated by researchers.

I'm surprised that we don't have a P2P variant strictly for academia. What a boon it would be to the dissemination of knowledge.
