[Coco] Fresh new retro computing article!

[tonym]

Has ANY other group of user around a machine ever had as much in-fighting as the CoCo has over the past 2 decades?
We've had so many "events," battles, and situations, that it is absolutely beyond belief.

I can only imagine where we'd be retro hardware-wise if this hadn't occurred so often...
This is not to slight our hw providers in any way - they've been INVALUABLE in what we have been given!!

Anymore, the Facebook group sucks.

People like Stevie is why. He thinks that his opinions hold more water than
anyone's because of his 'popular' video show - you know, nobody knew about
the CoCo until he showed up.

He doesn't like it when people question friends of his, or try to discuss
the fact we are a small group, and product duplication tends to flood an
already small market.

There's a MUCH longer story about this that started right before CoCoFest...
