Hi Nick!
I am do sorry to hear that you have stopped your Coco software development and are thinking about leaving.  I think ANY development for our beloved Coco is good.  If YOU like it, then develop it.  Someone on the list will appreciate your efforts.  They just may not say anything.  Don't let those people who for some reason always seem to be there to dash the hopes and dreams of others away who are actively contributing to the Coco Community keep you from what you want to do.  Any learning is great no matter how small.  I'm so sorry that I have not been keeping a more active interest in your gaming development.  Figuring out how something works has been my primary interest and graphics programming along with complex programming algorithms have always held a fascination for me, even though I am on a big hardware kick at the moment.  After taking a rest and a short break from your software development, please seriously consider coming back to us.  YOU HAVE FRIENDS HERE!!!  We DON'T want to see you go.  Like I said, if you feel you need a break, I certainly understand.  I take many of them myself.  Just don't quit.  We will all be here when you come back.  Please think about it.  Please believe me when I say, "YOU HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO ME PERSONALLY!"  I for one will continue to need you unique viewpoints.  Don't go permanently.  I hope to see you in the near future and to hear your view points on my varied projects.  Take care my friend!!!  Come back soon!!!

Subject: [Coco] PopStar Pilot blog offline

My game development blog "PopStar Pilot" is now offline and the project 
is now closed.

I apologize for the few who have been following the blog and for those 
few looking forward to the game's completion but I am having 
difficulties in maintaining the required motivation and drive required 
to complete such a project and have decided to devote my energies to 
other projects.

I will be taking a back seat "lurker" role on this newsgroup to 
periodically keep in touch while I explore other creative opportunities. 
It's unfortunate that so many of the CoCo's creative community have 
abandoned the CoCo in search for other opportunities to challenge their 
interests.

I wish to thank those who have helped me in the past and in particular, 
I wish to thank Robert Gault for always supporting my projects and 
offering helpful and unrelenting advice of which I am greatly appreciative.

Nick Marentes
