I read here when ever there is a post. I watch both.  

It is quite though. Maybe at times I like that. 

I seriously doubt that there ever will be any overwhelming consensus

|Hi,
|
|It has been quite a long time since a message has been posted to
|bit.listserv.coco telling anyone interested that we have moved our

|
|http://five.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
|
|Has information about the "CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts" list.
|
|The list is echoed to "gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco" on the
|"news.gmane.org" server.
|
|Go To
|
|http://news.gmane.org/
|
|And enter "CoCo" into the search box and you will find the CoCo list
|
|"47007 gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) List"
|
|There are several Yahoo groups also.
|
|The number of web sites is amazing including: http://www.coco3.com/
