[Coco] De-lurk!

[Kip Koon]

Hi Christopher!
Welcome back to Cocoland!  The wonder of this little machine still catches
my interest even after using 64-bit Windows machines!  I came back in 2011
if I remember correctly.  I've been having a lot of fun relearning
everything all over again and rebuilding my Coco setup again.  You can read
about my Coco Data Center at the following wiki page.

I've had a lot of fun writing it all.  Again welcome to the Coco community
once again.  Take care my friend.
Kip

Greetings, fellow CoCo-heads!

I¹m de-lurking, after following the list for a few weeks now.

My first computer was a CoCo 1 (32K?), given to me and my brother by our
parents back in the very early '80s. I was maybe 7 or 8 years old at the
time. Fell in love with the thing, programming in BASIC, and dialing up
BBSes in the Richmond, Virginia area. Upgraded to a 64K CoCo 2 with floppy
drives, then finally, a 512K CoCo 3 with MPI, Deluxe RS-232, dual
floppies, CM-8, etc., running OS-9 Lvl II. I remember how amazed my
friends were when I showed them OS-9 windowing, and my RS DT-1 terminal
hooked up from another room to the RS-232 pak.

Anyway, I'm getting back into retro-computing after a very long hiatus.
I'm learning much, and I'm amazed at the incredible work done by a
passionate few to keep this hobby alive. DriveWire blows my mind! :-)

Thanks for such a passionate and informative community.

Christopher Fox
