I *think* I only have one, and my kids (7&9) are enjoying my 'resurgence' 
into the CoCo3 world again and enjoying playing the games & typing on the 
keyboard & whatnot.

I think I'd get lynched if Thexder disappeared...

Maybe because you haven't been checking in at www.vintage.org in a timely 
manner... ;-)

VCF East 2.0 was 2 years ago in Boston. I actually made it to there, albeit 
for a "truncated" visit. T'was my first time in Boston, I actually rather 
liked it. [[ After living near Duhtroit for 18 months, I'm generally not 
real keen on big cities... ;-) ]] 'Course, I *really* liked my visit to Salem.

Ah well... 3.0 won't happen for me - too little money right now, and too 
little time off. [[ I have lots of vacation time, but no time that I can 
actually *use* it at this point. Aahh, job security. ;-) ]]

Maybe 4.0, or if there's a VCF-MidWest this year, maybe I could make a 
weekender for that - anything within an 8-hour drive I might be able to 
swing... if I don't have 2 jobs at the time. ;-)
