[Coco] [Color Computer] Re: New Member

The Color computers are fun machines and you can probably pick up a pretty nice one 
from eBay or maybe one of the used dealers on the web.  You usually get a better deal 
if you can wait for a package system on eBay but be sure to set sensible limits on 
what you would be willing to pay first.  Here is a nice used source if you want to move 
a little sooner:

but you can find others too. 

I recently bought a pretty nice Color computer 1 and a tech ref manual from them. 
They take PayPal and give good service.
