Enjoyed the nostalgia trip.  Reminded me of how I conned my wife into spending
our tax refund on the $399 4K coco I (I think I was one of the first to
buy one).  Imagine, she wanted to buy a washer and dryer (back in 82 you
could get a washer and dryer for that price).  I've never be able to live
that one down, but I did get my ol' gray coco.  Did the trace cuts to
upgrade to 64K, and the monitor card (even looked like I built it).  We
had lots of good times, I almost cried two years ago when it finally
died (probably was broken hearted, since it was relagated to a dumb
terminal connected to my Coco III running OS9).
