[Coco] A new year is here...

[Stan Blazejewski]

G'day Eddie,

Yeah I like reading the contributions also.  Seeing all the creative 
hardware addons evolve makes me wish I had kept the coco's but they were 
just gathering dust so I decided to donate the lot.  The guy came from 
interstate, about a 700k round trip. Managed to fill his boot (trunk), 
entire back seat and passenger seat (and it wasn't a small car).  The 
main system was solely OS9 and had 3 floppies (one 3.5") and 2 hard 
drives (20meg for the main system and 80meg for all the files).  Also 
ran a BBS on it for many years.
