How about these...

-Excuse for wife to complain
-Closet Dust collector
-Paper weight
-Door stop
-Land fill

Pilot

P.S. For all you sensitive people, this is just a joke.

DL Logo and DEFTPascal also get use from time to time.Last Christmas season I pushed a gray CoCo 1 to music duties under my Tree,it was kind of a hit with neighbors and visiting friends. This year I willdo it again and will need to recruit another CoCo 1 to do the graphics partof the display - there is a video on YT, browse with "retro-computing xmastree", first one on the search results :-)Will most likely do a spooky graphics window display with the CoCo forHalloween this year, already have a nice LCD that I can stick to the frontwindow at home. Boo!All in all, I don't see my CoCo 1 & 2s retiring any time soon.-- RP--Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttp://five.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
