2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Line 1: Line 1:
Terry Simons (194? - 2000) was founder of Mid-Iowa & Country CoCo Club (known as MI&CC), a Color Computer club out of Des Moines, Iowa.  The club came into being sometime in 1990 and boasted a national membership (hence the addition of "& Country" to the club name, as Terry would explain).


During its existence, MI&CC collected a rather large library of CoCo software and offered its members access to the programs in this library for a modest copying and shipping fee.  This library became a source of contention between Terry and a number of CoCo software authors who discovered that copyrighted software was being offered through the library without permission of the original authors.
On May 18, 2000 Terry passed away from complicatoins of throat cancer.  He is buried at the Des Moines Masonic Cemetery in Des Moines, Iowa.
