[Coco] I'm signing off - 6309 Microprocessor Enhancements

[Roger Taylor]

John, I hope you hung around long enough to get a little feedback on this....

Look.  Just take a vacation from computers.  This has worked for me in the 
past when I was having major job, girlfriend, or even wife problems.  In my 
short 18 or so years of intense computer activities, I have been hit with 
every obstacle known to man.  I wouldn't go so far as to say my ex -wife 
was an obstacle, but it was pretty hard finishing Projector-3 back then and 
even shipping a bunch of copies to several of the CoCo fests.  Believe it 
or not, that was a nightmare.  She hated me programming even when I cut 
back on it a great deal.

Anyway, If I could go back and relearn everything the way I've learned, and 
am still learning, I'd keep it the same.  Right now I'm having issues with 
a girlfriend who's confused :), and sometimes it can force you to lose 
focus.  Just between me and you (and the rest of the list) , it has been 
the girlfriends and jobs in the past that I attribute all of my programming 
accomplishments to... because every time I'd split up or have problems, I 
*knew* I could fall back on the other thing I loved and that is 
programming.  At the same time, there's been many times where I wanted to 
throw it all in the river and go move into the mountains like Grizzly 
Adams.  Know what I mean?  And don't think I won't do it! :)

But seriously, John.   You've learned WAY too much to quit now.  Just take 
a vacation from it all, and then surprise us one day when you come 
back.  This always works for me.  Always!

And you know everybody appreciates what you're doing.

As for the state of our country... well, it's gone.  My advice?  Have 8 
kids.  Teach them to vote, and to multiply.  :)
