[Coco] [Color Computer] Mikeyterm

It was bought back by the guy who ran AST. He tried to restart it but 
failed, gave up, and now owns the Beverly Hills Hilton (IIRC). AFAIK he 
couldn't give a rat's ass about TRS-80 / Coco matters.

"Remember Benny Alagem? He's the former Israeli tank commander who founded 
computer maker Packard Bell Electronics Inc. in Westlake Village in 1986.

After the 1993 Northridge quake, Alagem moved the company to Sacramento into 
the vacated space at the U.S. Army's recently closed Sacramento Depot.

That operation grew, shrank and eventually was sold to become Packard Bell 
NEC Inc., then closed its operation for good in Sacramento in 2000."
