[Coco] ANNOUNCE: Cloud-9 Website Update

[Frank Pittel]

As I understand it CF cards are or can be faster then SD cards. Which for an application like
primary storage for the Coco is a potential advantage. I have fat fingers and the physically
bigger CF cards are easier for me to handle.

On the downside of CF cards they don't have write protect and the small pins on the readers
are a problem.

As far as getting the CF cards I go to "www.mydigitaldiscount.com" for them.

Don't get me wrong, they have their place, I prefer the more rugged CF, but accept what the various devices take of course. My point was that they aren't hard to find. And Walgreens isn't the cheapest place around.:)
