   I remember occasionally reading Pournelle's column in Byte Magazine back   
   in the '80s and '90s.  I briefly wrote a column in Computer Shopper on   
   the subject of the TRS 80 Color Computer.  I liked Pournelli and Mondo   
   2000 magazine's Xandor Speaks column.  I was a fan of Terrence McKenna   
   (spelling?) who wrote articles dealing with his experiences taking   
   Ayahuasca in the Amazon jungles and peyote in the Southwestern United   
   States, somehow melding his drug experiences with emerging technology.   
   --------------------------------   
   I was very impressed by the Color Computer's 6809 CPU and instruction set   
   but was already too committed to Intel architecture in my slowly growing   
   wire wrapped home-brew computer. I used the CoCo's Motorola graphics chip   
   with built-in character generator when I acquired a CRT to replace the   
   Teletype.
