[Coco] My email was hacked

[Little John (GIMEchip.com)]

I love Linux also, and FreeBSD (actually, mostly using PC-BSD these days 
when I'm not at my Windows Machine). Have you ever connected a CoCo 3 
serially to a Linux machine and used the CoCo as a terminal? I love doing 
stuff like that and commanding the PC from the CoCo just to make visitors 
go: Uh.. What???? That's why I really want to get one of Roger's Wireless 
Pak's - when they are available again...

 My MACs are very old ones - the newest being one of the original Imacs and 
the oldest being one of the original B/W Macs, but with an internal hard 
drive added. I would love to have a new Mac, but just can't afford one. I've 
seen places selling knock offs with a "hacked" Mac OSX, very cheap, but I 
just refuse to violate Apple's License :-) (which would make me as evil as 
those 'bleeping' virus writers.) -John
