[Coco] Hot CoCo Request

[Brian Blake]

Good morning CoCo fans,

I've got several of the MIA 1984 Hot CoCo issues. I've scanned 32 pages of
one and uploaded here: ftp://ftp.maltedmedia.com/incoming/

The file is 1984-05-Hot_CoCo.pdf

The magazine was scanned with a Xerox ColorQube copier, using their built in
OCR functions. I've looked it over and think it looks pretty good. If every
one like what they see, I'll continue the process and scan all of the ones I
have - 5 or 6 I think.
