[Coco] Auction

[John Donaldson]

Ward,
    Grest to hear from you again. Sorry about your lost. I lost my middle sister 
a couple of months ago, so know what you mean. I hope your new endeavor is a 
great success and as someone else said, at least stay in touch via this forum.

John Donaldson

In a stack of Coco1's at least that high, I think I found one 32k that wouldn't 
boot Level One.  Not counting the ones with piggy-back upgrades from 16k (first 
I recall was Bill Vergona's, done with the help of the tech at the Las Vegas 
RSCC where I was instructor way back in early '81).

Sorry, I haven't been around much this last couple years with archaic memories 
and/or snide comments.  I do try to keep up.  But right now I have to decide 
whether or not to divest myself of all of my Coco (and other ancient Tandy gear) 
preparing to move from New Jersey to New Hampshire, where operating a truck 
selling chili all over the state will be somewhat more than a full time job, 
leaving little time for hobbies.

Lost La Esposa a couple months back, her ashes have been scattered from just 
below the summit of Mount Washington facing the rest of the Presidential Range 
of the White Mountains.  Once I sell this house, it's out of Jersey for good.  
But I probably won't be getting as big a place up in New Hampshire and the 
computer collection takes a lot of space.

Dennis met Lisa a few years back at a concert of his over in Manhattan.  They 
seemed to get along.

Sorry to be a bummer.  This just materializes at random intervals.

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own 
devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other 
players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of 
poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer 
who won't tell you the rules, and who _smiles all the time_.
