[Fwd: [Coco] Hot CoCo on Microfilm...]

[Michael Wayne Harwood]

Thanks for that link!  DO you have contact information for Michael Nadeau
or the email you spoke of?  I would love to scan in all the Hot Coco I
have and make them available to others.  The microfiche would be expensive
to say the least - $140 a year plus the costs of having someone else scan
them from fiche to electronic media.  Sheesh!

I need to complete my Hot Coco collection - is there any one who has some
that are willing to share with me?  I am willing to buy them - I am not
expecting a free ride!!  ;)

Speaking of all this make me desire to scan in some of the neater books
such as Barden's assmebler and graphics books for the coco.

Ahhh....don;t bite off more than I can chew, eh??

Regards,
Michael Harwood

Perhaps is just something I dreamed about but I seem to recall that
Michael  E. Nadeau, Editor In Chief of Hot CoCo (CW Communications, ISSN
0740-3186,  then owned by Wayne Green) mentioned something about having no
problems with  Hot CoCo articles and/or programs available on the web...
got to do some  research in the msg databases to see if something comes
up.

Anyway, Hot CoCo is available on Microfilm, so at least there's a third 
party repository keeping this particular venue of CoCo info preseved, try 
the following link:

http://www.il.proquest.com/sim/title/detail?title_key=136815

Hot CoCo had small ads here and there about it being available in
microfilm  from University Microfilms International. The URL above came
after a google  search and once at the UMI site a partial ISSN search
revealed the archive.  Kind of expensive though to get all 3 years
worth...

If you follow:

you'll get a sizeable list of computer related publications archived as 
microfil/microfiche... 80 Micro, Family Computing, Run, etc. No Flasoft's 
"The Rainbow" though.

Just my $0.02 :-)
