I too had a CoCo 1982 but moved up to the CoCo III and OS-9 when it came
out.
Of course that has all dissapeared now but now use Linux RedHat V6.1 and
am very happy with it.
I also ran a BBS first on the CoCo III then an MM/1 now on Linux so if you
have questions just ask. I am not an expert but can help with basic
stuff.
