Ken Waters is a YouTuber best known for his channel Canadian Retro Things, where he goes just by his first name and strictly follows a self-imposed dress code mandating colorful shirts in (ironically for a Canadian!) a tropical style. CRT (pun intended?) covers all retro computing, but Ken has stated that the first computer he ever owned was a 16K CoCo 2 and that the TRS-80 line of computers holds a special place in his heart [1].
Although CRT does not have a specific playlist that covers all Ken's CoCo videos while excluding all other platforms, it does have the following:
- Playlist: BASIC09 and NitrOS-9 Ease of Use
- Playlist: Interview with Robert Kilgus (filmed by L. Curtis Boyle)
- Playlist: BASIC09 Programming
- Playlist: Overall TRS-80 stuff; mostly CoCo but also MC-10, Model 100, Model I etc
Check out his full Playlists page where there are more Playlists that also include CoCo content.
Ken also does crossover appearances with other retro computing and especially CoCo personalities.
- Video: At CoCoFest! 2023 he teamed up with L. Curtis Boyle to showcase new features of BASIC09. Video courtesy of Stevie Strow's I'm a CoCo Nut channel.
- Full? list of appearances on I'm a CoCo Nut
