[Coco] Hello all :-)

[Jason Law]

Hey Don, welcome back!

I did the same thing and sold all my CoCo stuff at age 18, for the same
reasons :)

I'm sure we're not the only ones lol :D

Yeah I agree it's amazing that so much is still being done, it's great to
see.

Have you tried the CoCo emulators yet? They're a good place to start when
you don't have a CoCo.

www.cloud9tech.com is a good source for CoCo 3s. If you're going to buy
another, get a CoCo 3.

They're far better than a CoCo 2, though you'll see for yourself using the
emualtors.

There's also HEAPS of resources abailable on the internet now as much of it
is considered public domain.

Hope to see you around the CoCo community :)

Jason

Hello everyone!   I found this group quite by accident and thought I'd just
drop a note of introduction.

First, my name is Don, I live in Upstate New York (send your condolences via
snail mail hehehe). I got my first computer in 1983 and it was a CoCo :-)
I loved that machine and am excited to see that so many other people are
keeping our CoCo alive! I used to have a hell of a setup too.. I had a CoCo2
64k, MPI, 2 FD's, Speech Pak, RS232 pak, a super-speedy 300 baud modem....
MAN I miss that thing ;-)   I am simply amazed at the amount of hardware
(modern and not-so modern) that is STILL available for it!

Unfortunately I no longer have my old computer. I sold it when I was 16 (way
back in 1988)... You know, cars and gas money being more important than
anything at 16 ;-)    However, I can't wait to purchase another CoCo system,
and as soon as I have a job again, I'll begin the purchasing ;-)  C'mon
economy, pick up already so I can buy my old toys back!! Hehehehe

Ok all -- I just wanted to drop a note and say hello to my fellow CoCo fans
:)

-Don
