Seriously dude - venting? I'd suggest if you're really unhappy with MESS, 
then you should simply ask for your money back.

What makes you think that Yet-Another-Coco-Emulator is going to solve the 
problem? If there isn't already someone with the knowledge and the interest 
in getting the MESS driver updated, or Vcc for that matter, then I don't see 
where you'll find someone with the skills and interest in starting a new, 
cross-platform emulator for Coco 1,2 & 3 from scratch.
