[Coco] CoCoFEST! 2010...

[Mark Marlette]

Yes there will be another fest! :) Glenside to provide information as it becomes available.

We got back to MN around midnight last night. The weekend was another blur a very nice blur.

Thanks again to Glenside and all of their hard work. Time goes by to fast.

The FPGA work is not our work, it is of Gary Becker and John Kent. People were so amazed that there forgot my opening statement which was the credit acknowledgment of the prior two gentlemen. We had it in our booth later Sunday afternoon showing off their unbelievable talents! AMAZING is an understatement.

As ALL of the seminars were GREAT, my favorite was Don Weiss's on the 6809 history. WOW, WOW, WOW!!! What make this special to me was that we have been in contact via Email with these people and Don was the first that we have met in person and are able to put him back in contact with 6809 team. Thank you Don for the memories and to my professional life which has been entirely based on this machine and the chip you created. I hope Richard C.'s video taping did turn out!

Were truly are the 'Luckey' ones, RIP, Howard.

Thank you.

Thanks for providing those of us who can't make it to the CoCoFest an  
overview of what went down, Allen.  (I kept watching flight prices for  
at least 6 months beforehand, and never saw any really good deals that  
would have made the trip feasible for me.  One day, one day...)

So is Cloud-9 thinking about making a full-blown CoCo clone?  I hadn't  
realized the FPGA designs had gotten so mature.

And will there be a CoCoFest 2011?
