[Coco] [Color Computer] Re: New here...

Hi there Ed.

I'm not much of a poster here, but I'm in the St. Louis area too
(Chesterfield to be exact).  I actually have my CoCo set up at a desk
at home, but it hasn't been powered on in years.  I went to the
Chicago CocoFest in '90 or '91, don't quite remember.
