[Coco] Pathetic

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Since Dennis has requested this thread closed, I'll end by saying  
this:  none of the people who responded negatively to my initial post  
have ever bought anything from Cloud-9.  Our customers are some of the  
most loyal and enthusiastic CoCo users around, and we appreciate them  
very much.  It's your decision as to whether or not you'll buy our  
products, but I can guarantee you one thing: I'll talk straight and  
shoot straight with you or anybody else on this list, and won't mess  
around with your expectations.

Regards,
Boisy G. Pitre
