[Coco] 128k Bubble Memory

[steve]

Funny this came up. I've worked at Intel for many years and used to work in 
the Bubble Memory group until they sold it off. Was a strange, but cool 
type of product. I was learning Forth to write routines to test them. I've 
long since forgot most of what I learn about them.

Sir Dennis,
I just finished going through my copies of The Rainbow last weekend.
What a blast from the past! While I had drooled over a lot of the Green
Mountain Micro stuff, my dreams were greater than my wallet. That is to
say, "I woulda if I coulda, but I couldn't so I didn't." And by the time
I could afford the stuff, the CoCo was off chasing dinosaurs. 

Anyway, I'd like to say that the 8-bit days were a lot more FUN than
anything today. (Can you imagine patching Windoze to improve it, or add
more commands like Colin Stearman did with RS-DOS??)
