[Coco] delivers to your home computer

[Bill Loguidice]

I don't think we'll ever really know what's in the ad, since from what they
show it could represent either the VIDEOTEX or the CoCo 1, since that part
is exactly the same on both. You would think they would have chosen the
VIDEOTEX to be as generic as possible in showing a "computer" work with the
system, but at the same time, we're talking 1981, and it's perfectly
reasonable for the CoCo itself to have been handy.
