No, not a name war (although, I'd find that interesting to watch)...
just a spelling war. ;) I realize that the 'CoCo' spelling came from the
capitalization of the 'Color Computer' name. But I was just wondering

Heh. A war about the name is long overdue, it being over 20 years since
it last happened and all. Yeah, J/K. :)
