[Coco] Roger Taylors Coco DVD

[Frank Pittel]

More likely then not the comment about making backup images of the dvd
onto the harddrive of a "server" is a troll. If you go the the history
of the poster you'll notice that it hasn't contributed anything to the
coco community but trouble. The troll is best ignored until it goes
away.
