[Coco] We NEED a Centralized Location..........

[Joe Schutts]

Hi Everyone,

What I am going to write here will probably ring true with MOST people, at least I hope so. While I would have loved to have gone to the LAST CoCo Fest, both time AND distance AND money (or lack thereof) made it impossible for me to attend. Oh well.

The one thing that I have discovered is that there has been a BUNCH of NEW and/or improved items that have come out recently for the CoCo. Things like the NEW Atari Joystick Adapters, CoCo SDC Units (I love mine, by the way), NEW and Improved CoCo SDC Cases (I still need to get one), BOTH VGA and HDMI Adapters, NEW Multi-Pak Adapters (both 2 port, 4 port AND 8 port kinds AND a NEW one that incorporates a RS-232 Port as well as other improvements), NEW RS-232 Ports and many more items than I can think of here.

The problem is that unless you are aware of (or have been following) these items (mostly before PRE-CoCo Fest) than you will probably be unaware of them now unless you have been following these items via this site.

What I would like to see is, ONE LOCATION where everyone can go to, to either purchase (or even just to read up about NEW and/or improved and even updated items). This would allow us (the possibly potential buyer) to read all the updates and possibly see the features and/or even the price and/or anything else related to these items.

Many times I have bookmarked an item I wanted to follow only to find that somehow I have lost the link or forgotten where the LINK was placed. By having just one site to go to, it would make it MUCH easier for all of us to stay better informed. Think of it sort of as a "ONE STOP SHOPPING SITE"...

Anyway, this is just an idea I have. I welcome anyone to add any of their ideas (on how to improve on this idea) or possibly any other comments on this idea...

Hope this helps...
Take care everyone...
Joe...
