[Coco] [Color Computer] Yahoo Groups info

[Steve Noskowicz noskosteve@yahoo.com [ColorComputer]]

 Bob, et, al.,
I see the deadline has been extended 'till Jan 31.
However, ...
Doesn't everyone know about the Internet Archive Project "WayBack Machine" that hat been saving everything on the internet?
I haven't checked for Yahoo Group files, but they may be available there.
Not all files may be accessed due to issues in referencing various links on any given site, but it's worth checking.
You enter the old URL and pick a date of the version on that date.

 The name Yahoo is actually an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle"

     "Yahoo" the word and description which has become the meaning today in 
English came from Gulliver's travels written by Jonathan Swift. There 
was a whole tribe of them.

> If someone calls you a yahoo, it's definitely an insult. Yahoos are thought to have very little education and culture. People think of yahoos as folks who were raised in a barn — maybe literally. A yahoo can also be called a bumpkin, hayseed, hick, rube, yokel, or hillbilly.
