     I thought it was a step in the right direction.  Apple is going to
hide behind Graham Nash's "folksy image" this year.  IBM used a fake Chaplin
(a clone?) to give them a freindly image.  Here, the CoCo has a nice picture
of 3 freindly grinning faces built in and NOT fake freindliness, but real
people who actually had a hand in producing the product!

     And when I get mine, I may just invest in a ROM burner too. ;-)
