Yeah - she probably would've jumped in as mediator days ago!

My take:

I've been on this list in many of it's mainfestations, dating back to the PUCC years...

As Boisy said, many things have been promised, and none delivered, Rainbow on DVD and
the "OS/9 Personal Edition" being the two that come to mind immediately.

I would NOT put Mark in that group, because we ALL already know that CoCo stuff is NOT even 2nd
fiddle - we understand that he obviously has a life, and other responsibilities that come first, and attacking
Mark was NOT the same thing. NO ONE has done for the CoCO in the past decade that he has - period.

Boisy - I'm including you in that, as well.

I bought a Pro-Tector, 6309, SuperDriver, Rom Kit, and a TC^3 SCSI+Clock, so I can talk...

We've all known that SUperBoard is a back-burner project that gets cpu cycles when possible, and no
release date was ever "PROMISED."

As to the "I have a contract with Lonnie, and I must report anyone else scanning magazines," I call BS.
That is like the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard - those are terms that even my children wouldn't agree
to. You sign a contract, and all of a sudden you're the RainbowPolice?

Please - even after reading it 3 times it made no sense... No offense to Lonnie or the family, but he's dead, as is Rainbow, and the estate probably has absolutely no clue what to do with it *IF* they even
freaking know they even HAVE it  :) 
I'm pretty sure Rainbow magazine is not even on their Top 50 list of
"Things that are important."

After reading all the BS a while back about this and that, and helpers, and no helpers, and I don;t know,
and oh now he's dead - what do I do with the contract. Honestly? I was pretty sure that Rainbow on DVD would be yet another stillborn CoCo project - if anything was ever really accomplished. Anyone SEEN anything? I didn't think so....

But, I digress..

My opinion:

You guys wanna scan and share, go ahead - if someone dislikes it, and wishes to spend $$, then they
will get a lawyer to write a cease and desist letter. End of story.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled bickering...
