I'm sorry if my frustration is coming across as... frustration.

You're right. The issue of streaming comes up every year and while I 
don't expect the GCCC to manage the streaming, it would be beneficial 
and timely if it looked for volunteers to do it for them rather than 
wait for someone to put up their hand.

Had I not opened the discussion of the fest this weekend, how many 
others would not have even realized it was on?

I don't mean to cause problems and I will end it here, but I do know 
that my thinking is shared by many of us devoted CoCo users around the 
world.

Like was mentioned in an earlier post, there has been a bit of a 
resurgence in the CoCo (and retro computing in general). Opportunities 
are there but sometimes in needs someone else to light the spark.

In the end, I believe I have done that and if those that have stepped up 
to attempt the stream for this weekend, whatever the outcome of your 
efforts, will be greatly appreciated by CoCo users around the world.

Nick
