[Coco] Help me digitize Color Computer Magazines

[wdg3rd at comcast.net]

Chuck, this is not the right venue to challenge Christians.  I am at least as atheist as you are and probably more so (because even if there is a G-D, I'm against it).  I withdrew after one criticism of the politics one thread developed (I'm more opposed to government than I am to religion, whatever the evils of each and they're normally joined at the hip) but this is the place to discuss the various versions of the Color Computer and some of its relatives like the MM/1 and other 68xx systems.  (Wish I could find a decent forum for 68xxx systems that weren't just into Ataris and Amigas and Macs and such crap, because I happen to be very fond of the TRS-80 Mod 16 and Tandy 6000 line).

Real party animals (Republicans, Democrats, Communists, etc) don't have to put up with such abuse (well it feels like abuse when spouse and former spice are giggling over a third of a century of old news), they can beat their wives, but as an individualist anarchist whose first (and only important) commandment is the Zero Aggression Principle (google it) I can't use violence with ex- or current wives unless I am asked to and I'm not into that kind of action.

Bob is probably one of the ten best resources now available for Color Computer fans.  Don't mess with that.
