Episode 007: 05-06-2017 Beginners and Newbies edition
We are back for CoCo TALK #7 this one is dedicated to the beginners, and new members of the CoCo community, and we are going to try and keep the "depth" of the technical jargon as shallow as possible, and hopefully have a safe and friendly place where we can ask any type of questions, regardless of how "simple" or "basic" it may seem about the Tandy Color Computer, the retro computer hobby, programming in BASIC, how to set up or use a CoCo, what emulators to use, what's the "Best" CoCo to get, what about CoCo alternatives, etc.
