[Coco] Coco Europe

[Fedor Steeman]

Hi Thierry,

I have no idea of what you are apologizing for, but in any case, I have been
confused or offended by anything.

I haven't had the time to further assemble your little package, but I hope I
will have more time soon. If you are very eager I could send you the CoCo3
upfront and the rest will follow. Remember that you need that special
adapter from Chris Hawks in order to plug it into a TV. Have you contacted
him already?

Cheers,

Fedor
