I am fairly New to the CoCo, so I am sure there are sites I am unaware of...

Besides the Sites mentioned above, the TRS-80 Color Computer Archive 
seems the Closest to Apple ][s Asimov Archive, so that needs to be 
Archived..


<http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/>


I wonder if anything can be salvaged from the Tandy CoCo site..

<http://www.tandycoco.com/>

and the CoCoPedia and CoCo 3 Sites..
<http://www.cocopedia.com/>
<http://www.coco3.com/>


Also, should some Individual Sites, like SockPuppet's, or Arron Wolfe's 
Sites be Archived??

I just sent Jason another e-mail, and I should get the FTP Address and 
Mailing Address for everyone to send stuff to...
