[Coco] So how about sequels for classic CoCo games like Ghana Bwana in 3D for PC and Consoles?

You know, I never even knew there was tech support available for the
CoCo...  Could you just call in or what?
Don't think I would have ever had a need for it, everything was pretty
self explanatory.  I would have just been calling in to say "how do
you get past the Anaconda in Dallas Quest?"  (Which I do remember the
answer to. :)

"Back in the day" I used to see him fairly regularly, as he lived in the San Fernando Valley and I did tech support at the RSCC in downtown L.A.  Happens at the time he was engaged to (and later married) a field tech who sometimes worked out of our repair shop, though she usually worked out of the RSCC down by LAX or the one in Beverly Hills.

(I made up for my support of low-ticket items by also being tops in support of the high-end Xenix systems, often farmed out to other RSCCs in the triangle between Santa Barbara, San Diego and San Bernardino to handle problems their CSRs couldn't handle).  (And yes, I own a Tandy 6000HD along with all of my Color Computers, my Mod One, my 4 and 4P, my Mod 2 and my Mod 100s).  My support for the Color Computer did get me one fan, practically a disciple.  You've seen him if you ever watched the original "Beastmaster" movie.  Josh Milrad, who played the young prince (and hasn't a major impact on the movie industry since then, as far as the IMDB can tell).
