2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

This is my userpage.

I started with a 16K CoCo 2 that I got for Christmas as a kid and a little later moved up to the 64K. Longed for a CoCo3 but didn't want to seem ungrateful for the ones I'd gotten so I proactively said I didn't want one!

Got a CCR-81 after a generic computer tape recorder proved incompatible. Never did get Dungeons of Daggorath (which I loved otherwise) to successfully load or save any games to/from tape though.

Subscribed to Rainbow (sadly, couldn't afford Rainbow on Tape, let alone on Disk), The Color Computer Magazine, and HotCoCo. And that monthly programs on tape service, I forget from whom.

Got a black and white RadioShack dot matrix printer that never worked properly; can't recall the model number/name. So my CoCos were never practical tools for school.

Had a number of cool games though.
