Episode 153 - Distantly Social since 2017
CoCoTALK! has been meeting virtual and being social distant (yet connected) before it became the in thing to do. We carry the tradition of keeping the Tandy, Dragon and MC-10 flame alive this week from our homes, at least 6.5 fee from each other, but still sharing our love for the Coco. We're going to try and keep the show a "tight" two hours today to give everyone a change to take part in the TRS-80 Trash Talk live show at 4PM EDT.
