[Coco] [Color Computer] What happend to http://www.nitros9.org/

[Mark Marlette]

Gene,

That all might be true for high traffic development but what is the  
relevance to the ToolShed and NitrOS-9 repositories? They are not high  
traffic.

Global statements never apply to all situations........

We use the tools for our blood, sweat and tears. It works. I have it  
on three of my machines. I have been using it for over 7yrs and not  
one problem.
