Hi,

I am curious as to why you posted this here as you are an active and valued
member of the "CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts" <maltedmedia.com>.

I am not ignoring you and others even though I am going forward with the
preparation of the CoCo 3 Color chart for printing.

I just decided that it was time to produce the first version and look at it
before saying more as I am looking for a practical result and not a
theoretical "Correct" solution for all of the Color Related Industry.

This is unfortunately the place that a very positive message was posted on
my S-Video project. I would have preferred that it had been posted to our
main list, but it was not. Are you implying that you are intimidated by the
non response to my posting there (Except for a non valid problem that
cannot exist which I was attempting to discuss with the poster in private
E-mail. I stopped when my private E-mail message was posted to the list
without my permission. This message being posted in a public place can be
cross-posted without my saying ok).

Are you saying that you have built the CoCo S-Video project and have looked
at the pictures on your TV?

I thought of taking some pictures off my "Sony KV-1311CR" to show the
matching of the displays but I did not due to size and time involved.

The displays were equal, with the "Sony KV-1311CR" being better for
programming due to its smaller size and the RCA TV with S-Video better for
Gaming due to its larger size. Both could be used for each of the two
classes.

I plan to perhaps offer several versions sorted and arranged differently.
