Hello, all.

Happened to stumble across this list and associated web site by accident last week. I cannot believe the old coco still has the following it does. I had two in the past, coco 1 & 3, with too many accessories to list. I donated them shortly before I went into the Navy in '90. 

I've spent the last decade or so immersed in Windows based machines and after reading the various pages on the webring, have purchased a couple of coco's again. The reasons for this are twofold, 1 - so my kids can see a real peice of computer history 2 - so I can tinker with one again and try some of the intersting hardware Cloud9 (the idea of getting an IDE drive to work with it sounds too cool to pass up) has to offer, as well as NitrOS-9.

I was also looking into getting a Dragon 64 after finding a company in California (California Digital) still has several hundred. Has anybody here had experience with this company? Current price is $39 + s/h for what is supposed to be a new, unopened box. Here is the web page: http://www.cadigital.com/computer.htm
