[Coco] booted again!

[James Hrubik]

John, thanks for the note.  I was looking for Nitros-9; the web page  
for that kept coming up "unavailable".  Took out the hyphen, and  
WOW!  Downloaded everything.  Where was Toolshed in the good old  
days?  THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!  Thank you, Nitros-9 team!

Jim Cox -- way back when, I had everything on a power strip, and when  
I flipped the switch, it all came up at once.   Have to locate a  
spare power strip around here to dedicate...
