I am trying to find a particular 1512 as that was my first PC clone (CoCo2 
before that, Timex Sinclair before that) that was a hand me down.  It's the 
last computer I have to get to have my childhood setups re-created!  It had 
the color display, and the disk drive levers were straight, not the crooked 
ones.  When I was done with it, I had a 40 meg hard card in it, Media Vision 
Thunderboard, and a 2400 baud modem.  In addition to BBSing, Prodigy also 
supported the advanced graphics the Amstrad offered on top of the regular CGA.
I've got to get one soon.

.... I used to be a coyote, but I'm alright nooow!
