And look, yes there are still some good sites containing CoCo software. That
is great, it is not my goal to replace them or compete with them at all.
Rather my goal is to download the software from those sites and archive the
said software and at the same time make it publicly available so that not
only is there one less way for the files to disappear completely but people
can continue to enjoy the files from either location and this allows
distribution of the bandwidth load. This is best stated by my mission
statement:

It is my belief that archives like this one should be provided without any
limitation to the end users ability to utilize the archive. These archives
are getting harder and harder to find and because of that we all should do
what we can to let those who want to mirror our archives do so. As such I am
now bringing this archive to the vintage computing community. I have not and
will not put any limitations on how users can utilize the archive provided
here. Users can freely download as much or as little of the archive as they
want. Users can also freely contribute as much or as little to the archive
as they want. This way people will be able to mirror the archive easily
which will help ensure the files contained in this archive have a nice long
life span. This will also allow this archive to grow freely and become an
ever increasingly useful resource to fellow vintage computing hobbyists. It
is my hope that people will take advantage of the great disk space and
bandwidth provided here and both contribute to and download from this
archive. This will allow users to have a good solid place to go whenever
they are in need of a file for their vintage computing hobby. With the
resources provided here it is my hope that with others contributions and
utilization of this archive that this will become a great resource for all
vintage computer hobbyists. That's right, there is no certain vintage
computing era this archive is limited to (except the 2000+ computers and
their related files), as it is my hope that this becomes a great central
archive of everything vintage computing. A resource that makes the vintage
computing hobby easier and less intimidating by not requiring hobbyists to
go all over the internet for the files they need. Hopefully someday this
goal will be met for the benefit of everyone who enjoys vintage computing as
a hobby. Enjoy! :-)

In addition I am fully willing to respect the wishes of anyone who is the
original creator and thus copyright owner of one or more files on my server
such that if said owner wants any of his files that are on my server removed
I will be more then happy to do so. Just email me offlist with the location
of the file(s) and the filename(s) and the reason for requesting removal of
the file(s) and I will remove the file(s) promptly from public access.

P.S. Yes I do run Mac OS X
