Agreed, I learnt on the 6809 and remember being bemused by the limitations of 6502 when I came to try it!
Oddly I read this while having a text editor open on m6809.c

Let's hope we get a similar ruling in this country some time (seems unlikely under the yoke of Mandelson, but still).
A completely black page?
Oh, wait, do I need to whitelist something in noscript for that? Pass.
Ugh, you're kidding, right? Clear where left arrow (backspace) should be? Backspace right next to (reduced in size) enter key?! No, the CoCo 3 layout is pretty awful. I like that they added a real control key (in the right place, but presumably only useful in OS-9 or with a terminal emulator), but the placement of some of the others is just wrong.
Even lacking a control key, the old CoCo 2 layout is better - and the Dragon keyboard is even nicer to type on: better quality keyboard, CoCo 2 layout.
The first version always gets thrown away.
