[Coco] A return to bit.listserv.coco?

[James Dessart]

Right, how's this? I recommend putting it everywhere CoCo, mailing lists,
newsgroups, websites, etc.

The most comprehensive portal of all things CoCo is at:

http://www.coco3.com/

While by no means entirely complete, it gets you to places that fill in
the gaps. You can connect to nearly anything in the CoCo community from
here, if not directly, then through the many sites it links to.

1.1. CoCo Mailing Lists

The canonical CoCoList can be found at:

http://five.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/coco

This is place for CoCo discussion of all sorts. Instructions on
subscribing are at that page.

There is another mailing list at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ColorComputer/

Also included are a file area and calendar section, which could be put to
good use.

1.2. Newsgroups

In the past, and by some others in the present, CoCo users have used
Usenet newsgroups for discussions. The most active one has always been:

bit.listserv.coco

And Gmane has one going at:

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco

Posts there are a mirror of the mailing list above, and allow users with a
valid email address to post back to said list.

2. Dumping CoCo gear

If, for some reason, you want to get rid of your CoCo stuff, you have a
number of options. The folks on the various mailing lists are always happy
to take equipment off your hands. If you want something more local, you
can always try:

http://www.freecycle.org/

If you want to sell the stuff, there's always eBay, or even the store at
the CoCo portal:

http://www.coco3.com/cgi-bin/shop.cgi

3. Acquiring CoCo gear

Sometimes you can get stuff for free if you keep an eye open on the CoCo
mailing lists or newsgroups. The CoCo portal can direct you to a number of
places that sell both new and used hardware and software.
