[Coco] [Color Computer] Yahoo Groups info

[Haudy Kazemi kaze0010@umn.edu [ColorComputer]]

A few things:

1.) I recommend that future conversations move to
https://groups.io/g/ColorComputer/topics as Yahoo is no longer
creating searchable message archives here

2.) AFAIK, the Yahoo Groups joiner effort is still active. See
https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Yahoo!_Groups and
https://df58.host.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/yahoogroups/leaderboard

3.) You can make GetMyData requests at
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/getmydata  It can take over a week to get
results back.

4.) It looks like Neil M has posted a bunch of files to
https://groups.io/g/ColorComputer/files

Also, I saw a post on the [TRS80 MC10 Club] that a member there has a
backup of that group, ColorComputer, and some other related groups. I
also have some of the content. I don't know if anyone has a complete
set.
