Al,

Well, I'm glad that you enjoyed at least part of the episode.  We try
to cover news and a variety of topics, but it is difficult to please
everyone all the time.  Neil and I each have our own interests and
expertise, and it sounds like you might be more interested in the
topics that Neil is more equipped to cover.  Hopefully as the show
develops Neil will find more of a voice in the "on air" aspects of
the show.  I am quite happy to have him as a co-host and like you I
would like to hear more of what he has to say about the CoCo!

With that said, I like the technical content we are providing and I
intend to continue providing it as part of our show.  We will not
be segregating technical topics to some other podcast nor will we
apologize for technical coverage or put some sort of 'warning label'
on the technical segments.  I hope that everyone with an interest in
the CoCo has at least a passing interest in how the machine works.
But if not, then I'll have to refer you to the button on your music
player with two arrows pointing to the right... :-)

It sounds like that course info may still be available -- I should have
referenced it in the podcast!  Of course, I did mention some other
6809 reference material in the podcast.  You may want to check-out
that segment afterall... ;-)
