[Coco] Just got my 5x HD63C09

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

I was barefoot on the basement concrete floor :)

The very same chip I touched I tested in my coco1. And it will be there for
a while :)

Once I tried to vacumm clean my basement using rubber sandals. I had to
take them off after receiving a painful electric jolt on my foot. It really
scared me.
