MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

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.
