Just thought I'd return your "Hey". As you can tell from my tagline, we have
at least a couple computers in common. In fact this is coming to you via a
50hz 060 powered Amiga4000. If you can. come to what will be the last
CoCoFest in Elign, Illinois. I sya this because the sposoring club is
haveing trouble finding enough exhibitors this year to fully fund the
event. They always said that they'd continue to sponsor one until they went
into the red. If you think you'd be interested, get back to me, And I'll
give you all the gory details you;d need to get there.
