[Coco] Auction

[Luis Fernández]

I'm sorry for your loss
But now I think, it is life without some enjoyment or excitement for its coco, not life
Work is not only life, try to keep your coco, maybe later good things will, of course if you can.

I know the sadness now is everything, and nothing matters. but try to be happy

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.

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.
