I think it will be most useful for seeing a screenshot and getting to 
download that software with a single click, but the Buy Now buttons will be 
great for people wanting to sell or find CoCo items, new or used.  I 
welcome anybody who has new CoCo products to consider using this system 
when it's in place.

I live in East Texas.  This entire area is known for oil wells, oil 
services, from the big giants down to the little guys who sell bolts and 
nuts to the companies next door to them, etc.  They are slap all over the 
place.  Can we say redneck city?

On the other hand, we have a lot of CoCo users in Texas... more than we 
realize, way more than what's shown on the US Map you can get to from the 
front page of CoCo3.com near the bottom.

Btw, in Texas it's legal to drive on the shoulders!!?  Can you believe 
this?  The rough sides of the road that are for emergency-only use in 
Louisiana gets driven on as much as the road itself around here.  For 
instance, if a long string of cars are cruising up the highway and the 
leader decides he wants to stop and take a left onto the interstate ramp, 
but he can't turn yet due to oncoming traffic... well, guess what!!  Yep, 
you guessed it...  every Tom, Dick, and Harry behind him will soon be 
flying by his right window doing 55.  No Joke.  And what if something up 
there goes wrong?  They don't seem to care.  They also do not warn you by 
tapping their brakes or slowing down if something ahead is in their way and 
they need to swerve into another lane.  If everybody is doing 45 and some 
huge industrial truck is sitting at a railroad track because of his policy, 
and you are 2nd in line behind the traffic that's approaching him doing 45, 
the first car swerves real fast into the left lane still doing 45 causing 
YOU to slam right into the back of that industrial truck, stopping *on a 
dime*, bouncing off of that industrial truck, causing you to EAT YOUR 
AIRBAG, and walk away with burns on your forearms from how hard you slammed 
into everything. :)   This is why I have no minivan and there are glass 
particles still below the skin on some of my knuckles.

Don't get me wrong... I have a CDL and have driven in rough traffic all my 
life, but this place just has it all wrong, and the law doesn't 
care.  Welcome to Texas!  :)
