The 21st Century
The CoCo still has a small but active user community despite a perceived lack of support from Tandy. Third-party support was assisted by CoCo-related periodicals, notably The Rainbow, Hot CoCo, and The Color Computer Magazine. Original hardware is being expanded by some small firms such as Cloud-9 with such things as SCSI and IDE hard drive controllers, memory upgrades to 512K and AT Keyboard interfaces. Other recent hardware development includes RGB-to-VGA Converter that allows connecting a Coco3 to a standard VGA compatible monitor.
User-driven support for the Color Computer has continued since production stopped in the '80s, hosted on various web sites and forums.

Famous quotes containing the word century:

And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,

The quatrain refers to the famous case of Lizzie Borden, tried for the murder of her father and stepmother on Aug. 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts.
