[Coco] 30 years...time flies

[Dave Philipsen]

This stuff probably would have been pitched years ago too if it hadn't 
been stashed away so well!

I also found my original BASIC09 package with receipt, OS9 Pascal, 
Multi-Vue, and my OS9 Level 2 development package.  They even have the 
floppies but I doubt they're readable at this point.

> Yep – it’s hard to believe – we are quickly approaching that 40 year mark most of us bought our first CoCo1’s.  I had the receipt of my first CoCo1 4k for the longest. I kept it in a CoCo programming book.  I am pretty sure that I lost it around 2006 in a major house cleaning / organizing fit.  I threw away CoCo’s, PC’s, books, and magazines and a ton of old parts of all kinds. Funny thing, that was not the first time, I did it twice. Did the same thing (minus the books, I think) ~1997 time-frame. Aaarrrggg… It will NOT happen a third time.
