  • "Is there anybody out there, doing still some real productivity stuff (i.e., writing letters) or controlling anything (maybe home-automation)?" -- Roland Schwaiger
  • "I am afraid that this is a 'normal' story...a Dragon user that discovers something really cool for the CoCo and then something has to be programmed to use it in the Dragon." -- Pere Serrat
