For reasons unknown to us Sean Dennis said thus to mark lewis:   
      
    SD> Yep, it was OS9.  There's a BBS system for OS9 that a friend   
    SD> has somewhere. OS9 really made the CoCo fly.   
      
    Indeed it did!! Shucks, add a multipack interface, a burke and burke hard   
   drive controller, and a rs232 interface to use a hayes compatible modem and   
   you had the world by the tail.  Enter a little goodie called Multi-View and   
   you had a point and click icon user interface BEFORE Microsoft came out with   
   windows.  Add to that OS/9 for the CoCo was a multi user multi tasking OS on   
   an 8 bit machine.   
      
    Twas my first experience with computers.  Ah those were the days!! Oh yeah,   
   and the long distance phone calls via the modem to download files and drivers   
   got really expensive at times.
