With permission from Stuart (probably 2 years ago), I picked up his dead 
FAQ and tried to bring it into the present tense.  It's on 
CoCo3.com.     However, it's not interactive so that anybody can add to it, 
nor is it the only FAQ or "the" FAQ, by any means.  I've spent a lot of 
work editing it, however.  If anyone knows of such of a "system for FAQ 
maintenance" on the web, let me know, and I'll try to support it.

Stuart is not active in the CoCo community anymore, or so his last message 
stated that all of his CoCo material on his web site was not going to be 
maintained anymore.  I haven't seen or heard a peep out of him since he 
said he was dropping the FAQ and Forsale/Want ads.

Speaking of good people leaving the CoCo scene, I've seen references to 
Chet Simpson in some PC projects.  I think his last CoCo project was Image 
Master, the sprite tool.  I still recall his reasons for being upset and I 
think this was one of the reasons he left so suddenly, although I can think 
of no other way to move on than to just do it... at least his roots are 
with the CoCo and he's still programming.  Go Chet!
