[Coco] CoCo and The Matrix

[David]

Hi John,

I was wondering if you might ever find the time to write some tutorials 
on Coco3 graphics programming? Any info available is spread over such 
wide-ranging sources as to make it almost impossible for those starting 
out to locate, understand and use.. I'm sure the community as a whole 
would benefit from your knowledge (and the knowlege of others as 
experienced as yourself *cough* Nick et al *cough*) , and may promote 
further releases for the beloved 8-bit

How much do I need to pay you? lol

regards,
David
