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.
T&D Software
T&D Software was a company offering subscribers a monthly tape or disk of a variety of CoCo applications, including games. The apps were typically of an amateur or shareware level of sophistication.
Toward the end of its run, it began including games that had been commercially sold, such as Sailor Man and others.
Its mascot was an endearing cartoon character whose body was CoCo 1 with hands and feet, and whose face was on an attached TV set. The character was standing on its toes, checking its mailbox, presumably for the latest issue.
