Yeah, and I will never give up my beloved TRS-80 Color Computer 2 with 
Microsoft Disk Extended Color BASIC.

There was actually a time when I was pissed at my father for buying a crappy 
PC instead of the CoCo3 I wanted.

He made the right choice, but when I look back on all that, it was because of 
the CoCo and CoCo2 that I cared about music on computers, and have been so 
intimately involved with it for so long.  I was trying to do polyphonic music 
on the PC speaker way back when, and I jumped on soundcards when they came 
out.  I had a Game Blaster, paid a fortune for the SDK and tried to write a 
composer and sound editor for it.  I had one of the very first run of Sound 
Blasters, back when Game Blaster backward-compatibility actually mattered.

But all of that stuff is so obsolete I don't even have it in a drawer anymore.

There's no telling what we're looking at in the future, but I guess I will 
still be on the frontier when we get there.
