That's awesome -- the CoCo got quite a bit of screen time (or at list it's video output did) and it was neat seeing all the stuff on Leo's desk, and how he was using a ROM Pak box to prop up his iPad. Very well done. I remember using BASIC to draw out logos and such. Geez, without a graphics program, I wouldn't even know where to begin to do something like that on a modern computer.

Worth watching, folks!

And now back to debugging telnet stuff here. I have my *ALL RAM* BBS online, and it responds to telnet from my Mac, but not from my ipad. But it used to. I think I broke something with the protocol :(   (Telnet info in signature, if anyone wants to take a moment and see if they can get it to work for them.)
