The Chevrolet Nova... urban legend - documented on Snopes. Read the analo

Keeping things in the CoCo discussion realm, the computers were not usually
called 'cocos' in my area of influence (northern Mexico), they were more
commonly called 'tandys', lumped together into the same group as the
venerable Z80 based TRS-80s, perhaps differentiating them just like the
'tandy color' if so required on a conversation.
