Message cross-posted from the www.coco3.com forums. Curtis Boyle got in 
touch with Bill Sias, publisher of CCN - Color Computer News, one of the 
early sources of information for the CoCo nack in the days...

Bill Sias has given permission to scan and distribute the entire run of CCN, 
as long as it is not for profit. So, it would be great to make a 2nd CD/DVD 
of CCN.

My correspondence with him (most recent first) follows:

Curtis,

I'd be happy to give my permission for you to reprint CCN, assuming that it 
is a not for profit venture. My philosophy is
unchanged from back then, the information is free, my time is not.

I appreciate the kind words about CCN. It was my hope at the time to fulfill 
the need for real information. Ultimately that route
and some bad advice from some people that I shouldn't have trusted (but did) 
lead to the end of CCN.

Thanks for writing, I hadn't thought about CCN in many years.

Bill
