[Coco] Coco Newby

John,

It seems then that I should order of these Superboards with IDE (and if the
site is to be believed, battery-backed clock, and ethernet!).  Depending on the
cost, I very might live out the rest of my life on the sofa ...  And I think I
may be able to wing an LCD display.  I suppose with some ingenuity a
"transportable" Coco can be achieved with such a display.  A Coco to go.  Yes,
an LCD display would be much less "clutter" for my desktop than another CRT. 
I'm salivating.  Is this normal? :)

Sincerely,
David
