I go back even further than that, Tomas, on a color computer I used 
either supercom or vt220, a terminal emulator that I made out of Brian 
Marquettes vt100, middle to later 80's time. The color computers had an 
aftermarket os called os9, was a microware supplied mini-unix that ran 
on a machine with only 64k of memory, 50+ years ago.

Anybody here remember that?

The 6809 cpu in the coco was first with program counter independant 
code, put it anyplace in memory and it just ran, so we showed the pc's 
of the day a much shorter, faster way home. But I've Been Moved chose 
intel 8088's and dos and had a bigger advertising budget.  That and 
nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.
