Gene:

What I was suggesting was a program where each CoCo would 
generate a certain portion of music that can be played 
back on MIDI instruments.  Sort of a free style CoCo 
compusition.

Another program could be used to anylize radio signals. 
 Just trying to think of a common project for us all.
