[Coco] Update on CoCo Book

[Randall.kindig]

Hi Bill, Boisy

With your permission I'd like to talk about your upcoming book on the next episode of Floppy Days.  I'd also like to talk/interview with one or both at the upcoming VCFMW, also for the show.

I'd really like to see the book do well.

Thanks 

Randy
