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.

Unbranded "Black Beauties"?

I had thought that the all Black Beauties carried Radio Shack, TDP, or Tandy branding, but this Worthpoint page shows what looks like unbranded Black Beauties. They're bundled with a TDP-100 at that page; since TDP 100s usually came with a couple of Black Beauties bundled in, maybe these were the joysticks that actually came with that computer, and reflected a phase in production where the joysticks didn't yet have TDP branding. Also of note is that they have the more desirable metal sticks. I've never seen non-Radio Shack branded Black Beauties with metal sticks. Carney (talk) 16:57, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
