Hi Diego,

First of all, I really like the layout of your website. Imagine making
something that is so CoCoish!

Second of all, I think it is great that you display so much enthousiasm for
more CoCo development. I, too, am bubbling with ideas and motivation, but I
simply have so little time. But who knows, maybe one day I will claim your
prize!

Neat idea of an html-interpreter for the CoCo. I was myself also toying with
the idea, but then more in line of a CoCo browsing the internet in some way.
That may sound like a far-off idea, but think about it: All you need is some
way of simplifying the webpages coming in, and the associated files like
images, so they can fit in the CoCo's memory. On the cloud9-website (that I
regularly visit drooling) the possibility was aired of the coming superboard
supporting ethernet protocols. Of course, a future CoCo4 will have even more
content-crunching power...

With regards to speed: Have you considered writing NetsCoCo in assembly
language? There has to be a first time for everything, and it seems like a
relatively simple problem to tackle.

Keep up the good work!

Fedor
