[Coco] Help me digitize Color Computer Magazines

[Bob Devries]

Chuck,
please remember that I use Australian English. This being the case, my 
spelling and grammar will be different from yours. However, there were no 
spelling errors in the sentence you quoted. You may think the grammar is 
obtuse(?), but that's the way I speak my version of English.

Isaiah 50:4 The sovereign Lord has given me
the capacity to be his spokesman,
so that I know how to help the weary.
