John:

	The standard autoexec.bas that comes with RGB-DOS puts a Coco3 in high speed 
mode automatically. (I know you have a SuperIDE with RGB-DOS.) You need to POKE 
65496,0 to slow it down for cassette use. Or unplug the SuperIDE Pak.

We pointed the error out to the cashier, who was probably barely old
enough to be legally employed, and her response, if she speaks for her
generation, was ominous, even terrifying: `It does that because... because
it's a computer.' An entire generation is growing up believing that the
current sorry state of affairs in information technology could ever be
accepted as _normal_!
