Diego,

Nice site.  I'm not sure about that computer since the picture is 
dark and grainy.  Also, thanks for referencing coco3.com from the 
banner, but it leads to chat.coco3.com which I thought I had 
disabled.  Clicking the link leads to a chat-only page without the 
site framework.  If you could, please change the link URL to 
http://www.coco3.com.

As for the Asimov awards... as I mentioned in an earlier post, I 
would submit something but I like the idea of letting newbies or 
progressing programmers compete as it also helps motivate others to 
bring us some new cool stuff to the CoCo.

I do have a new game coming out for 2008, probably in a week, but 
there are details pending.  Also, not everyone can download a .dsk 
image or .bin file and write their own floppy for their real 
CoCo.  If someone among us has the resources and time to produce a 
5.25" or 3.5" SSDD floppy on-demand for anybody requesting such, and 
mail it to that customer using an economy mailer and postage, please 
contact me and we can talk about fees.

I plan to announce this new CoCo 3 game in the CoCo Cafe tomorrow 
night (New Years Eve) if I can get enough decent screenshots made of 
the current work.  It's 90% complete with progress moving at the 
speed of light.  :)
