[Coco] CoCo Talk #7 "For Beginners" Saturday, May 6th @ 2:00 PM EST

[Steve Strowbridge]

Last week's show was the CoCoFEST! wrap-up show / Tandy Assembly kick off
discussion, so it was not highly technical, but that was the topic.
I'm in favor of both topic based shows and free form ones, and we've
already had a good mix.
As long as people are interested in continuing to either take part in the
talks, I hope we can continue to have them each week, or at least
bi-monthly.
I'm open to suggestions, requests, topics, you name it, anyone who wants a
subject or topic covered, let us know, I think we have enough people to
lean on to get just about anything explained.

We are just about a half hour away from this week's talk, hope to see as
many people there as possible.
