And now Lee owns a piece of computing history...  Kinda neat.  I recall
going to the Infomart in Dallas several years ago (5 maybe?) with a
Commodore pal and an Atari ST pal.  They talked about all the neat things so
see there on the Saturday gathering.  Well, when I got there I noticed not
only where there seminars for all the computer types, but for CoCo AND OS-9
as well!  The Tandy/CoCo/OS-9 seminars ran, I think, back to back.  It was
standing room for the CoCo seminar I saw and that was the first time I got
to see the souped up MultiVue (and a PC emulating OS-9 screen codes acting
as a terminal across the room!).  It was great, and there is when I first
met Lee.  Got a BBS # to contact him on and everything...

...then, awhile later, I saw a picture in Rainbow of this guy with CoCo #1
and thought "Hey, I've seen him somewhere before".  Then, when I started
attending the CoCoFests back in 1990 I ran into him.  It's been a really
small world since then.  (Proof of that is a photo I have taken in our hotel
room at the last Fest with James Jones, Bob van der Poel, and about a dozen
other "famous" people in the community...wild just being able to hang out
with these guys!)

Moral of the story:  Attend a CoCoFest!  <g>
