Besides being albe to help another CoCo-nut, I was also 
able to help myself by finally setting up my CoCo and to 
some degreee getting my stuff organized so I can relearn a 
lot of the stuff I have forgotten or learn the stuff I 
never even tried.

I applaud Mary for her tanacity and wanting to learn even 
more.  I wish more people her age were as interested in 
the guts of the system as she is.  It makes you wonder how 
much people are missing these days due to the plug and 
play mentality.
