The annual feud.  heheheh.  Well, you caught me already in tears 
already from laughing hard at a video a buddy echoed to me from 
youtube, that darned Harper Valley PTA video, reminded me just how 
old I'm getting and how country this country was back in 1980.  :)  I 
think he's sitting at home drinking beer worrying about how bad work 
will be Monday morning at UPS, so he's sending me funny videos while 
I'm trying to work on Phoenix and CoCoNet... on a Saturday 
night!!  Ouch.  I should be on a date, but heck no...  :)

Yes, Darren is one of the unsung CoCoNuts among us who has 
contributed some valuable efforts towards some of the stuff I put out 
there.  I just went back and tested the 230400 bps demo he sent to me 
for eyeballing all the way back on Jan 5, 2009 if that gives you an 
idea of how time passes quickly in the CoCo world!!  Amazing demo 
even in it's early stage.

Keep pushing the CoCo!!  We've got some other vinties out there who 
are showing us up on a few gadgets already.  I thought I saw a 
streaming video pak for the Timex Sinclair on youtube?  Mostly 
hardware, and useless in the real world, but it looks very similar to 
the new version of the CoCo video player... so maybe we beat them in 
that challenge.
