BEWARE! Nick has another wild and crazy idea!   :)

Regarding the CoCoFest for next year, how about...

1) We merge the CoCoFest with other classic Tandy computer users such as the
TRS-80 Model 1/3/4 users, Model 100 users and MC-10 users? We can call it
the "Classic Tandy Computer Fest". This would increase the number of
attendees and offer some variety while still remaining "Tandy Retro".

2) Chase some outside sponsership. The ideal would be to approach Radio
Shack Corp. and see if they're willing to sponser us. We would be promoting
their brand name as a major contribution to the evolution of the home
computer. They were one of the top computer suppliers in the 80's. I know
it's a long shot but I would start with them at least.

3) Start planning the fest from now so that we can include special guests,
drum up attendees and get the whole classic Tandy computer community
offering ideas and suggestions to make this into one big retro festival.

Just a thought.  :)
