I didn't comment the same because I'd be exposing how good or bad it 
can get at times, but yes... the CoCo3.com efforts can be rewarding 
sometimes and Yes, it is a side business, and everything can't be 
free when you're pulling off almost the impossible as it is and 
finding the time while you're raising 2 kids by yourself, to make all 
this stuff happen.  All-in-all, I've paid out big time but that's 
because it's also a hobby since it's computer-based, and hobbies can 
be expensive as we all know.  Ask any average CoCo user who 1) lives 
on his own, 2) is a single parent with 2 kids, 3) working for the 
most demanding company on this GLOBE and that is UPS... if he could 
kick back and crank out CoCo items without any financial support from 
the users, and my guess is that he would either say, "I'm not sure I 
can do that", or "uh... no".  If there's a Yes answer out there 
somewhere, let's see some action.  ;)

Anyway, I just love staying busy with it all I've got a large 
customer base that proves the efforts are very appreciated.  This 
makes me want to come up with new amazing things (knock on wood).  heheh.
