New CoCo links, and some cool CoCo videos

A friend of mine suggested some CoCo links for me to add to the CoCo Links ( Tandy Color Computer ) list, so I have gone ahead and added them. Check them out when you have the time.

My friend also sent me some cool looking CoCo vidoes; two are Radio Shack Commercials, and the other is a video of the Boink Bouncing Ball demo. Here they are:

I rcouldn't find much in the way of retro computing news except the Slashdot article below:

This blog could use a lot more links, especially for the Apple II, Commodore, and Atari links lists. Feel free to leave a comment with your link suggestions or any leads for articles. You can also send me an email by clicking the "here" link in the "Welcome" section on the left-hand side.

PS: I just found this great CoCo posting! Check it out: The Color Computer (a.k.a. CoCo).

Yet even more news about Cobol

A while back Slashdot posted another article about Cobol - "Cobol Job Market Heating Up"

Seriously is Cobol really that prevalent that there could be a serious need for Cobol programmers?

If that's the case then here are a few Cobol related links to help those new to Cobol get going with the newest old craze :)

4004 calculator replica

Slashdot recently posted an article titled "A Replica of the First 4004 Calculator" about vintage computer enthusiast Bill Kotaska building a replica of the Busicom 141-PF.

Give the article a read and also take a look at both Bill's site and the 4004 page.

I wish I had time for a project like this :)
