[Coco] Book Review

[J.P. Samson]

I finally received my preorder from Amazon.ca today.  Not  
surprisingly, it too has the mixed up page order.  This provides  
additional evidence that the entire first batch of books dispatched to  
Canada (via Amazon.ca) have the problem with page order (just as Glen  
described).  But as long as all the pages are there, it shouldn't  
hinder my reading and enjoyment, so I'm happy.

I flipped open to a random page and noticed an interview with Kilgus.   
As I learned more about computers, the more I was amazed by his  
collection of early CoCo games. They were, by-and-large, 3D playing  
fields with digitized sound effects, all crammed into the 8 kB ROM  
cartridges.  Pretty amazing work.  I can't wait to dig in!
