Hello CoCoNutz

Thanks Mary for publishing the magazine with your friends.

It is very sad to hear of people dying so young. I thank
God for every day I'm granted life as I approach 80 yrs old
The "coco 1" was my first computer I bought. I can remember 
plugging my first ROM chip... $98 was a lot of money to have in my hand.
 
The only work I did was with the coco was using the spreadsheet
to keep track of the of the giving to the Missionaries our Church
supported
and to take a BASIC course at our local Junior college. It was a lot of
fun
going to all the Bulletin Boards and learning OS-9. 

I want to thank all you friendly people that help me when I post
questions.

May God Bless You

John
