[Coco] Torn on getting rid of my cocos (was: torn on getting a coco...)

[Sean]

That's what I finally got around to doing in September.  After so many
years of them just sitting there, I came to the sad realization that
I'm really not going to put that stuff to any use.  If I really miss a
game, most of them work under an emulator.

The floppy drives and MPI should get you $100 at the very least.
