[Coco] Introduction

[Kip Koon]

Nick,
I just took a quick look at the Colour Maximite!  That is quite a neat
little trick, er computer you have there.  :)  It looks like the 128KBs of
RAM is in the PIC32.  Is that correct?  If so, then I'm doubly impressed!
It still amazes me what miniaturization has done for computer electronics.
I'll need to take some time and really look into that little machine.  Take
care mate!
Kip

Darn! I'm in Brisbane. We couldn't pick 2 furthest apart cities in 
Australia!

My website is still up.

Yes. There was no interest so I pulled it down to put up this...

No, it's not CoCo related. I've been playing with a new "retro" 
Australian designed (in Perth Jayeson!) computer called the Maximite.

Here:  http://geoffg.net/maximite.html

If you look at my Maximte page, you'll see that I have ported my 
original CoCo game, Donut Dilemma to it.

The real achievment though is that it is written completely in 
interpretive BASIC and it's faster than my original!! It tool 2 months 
to create from start to finish... in my spare time!!!

Jayeson, maybe you should write Dungeons of Daggorath for it.... in 
BASIC!!!    :)

Nick
