Some of you may have seen me rage quit a video game, but never before have I rage quit hosting a live show, this makes history!
CocoTALK! Episode 66, now available for the rest of the world who missed it live, is now available for your viewing pleasure!
Main Show Segments:
Assembly Language with Steve Bjork - part 2
BASIC Interpreter unraveled by James Diffendaffer
Rage Quit by Stevie Strow who's head exploded after 2 hours of tech talk.
Bonus segment where we got together later in the evening, worked on Skype alternatives, and, were able to have a laugh about the rage quit.
The original episode as it aired live is here, in uncensored form, with some bonus content, and introduction explaining the situation, a 3 minute warning before the meltdown, and a healthy "after talk" episode where we got back together, and concentrated on what's most important... being friends.

This week on CoCoTALK! We debut a brand new segment called Core Dump! This segment is the brain child of Nick Marentes. This will be a tech talk focussed on some aspect of software, programming, development, etc. The idea is to present something, either a question, or a problem, or show off something you've come up with, then get some input and suggestions from the panel and viewers, followed by a Q&A session.
We started the segment by looking at a program by Diego Barizo, with his game "Furious Felines 2" and we explored some options on how to reduce flicker. All this and more on the latest episode of CoCoTALK!
On the panel: Al Hartman, Jason Reighard, D. Bruce Moore, Diego Barizo, Grant Leighty, Jay Searle, L. Curtis Boyle, Mark Overholser, Nick Marentes, Nick Marrota, Paul T. Barton, Richard Lorbieski, Rick Adams, Ron Delvaux, Steve Batson, Stevie Strow, Terry Steen

For Episode 64 of CoCoTALK! we will continue the Assembly language segment, part 2 will explain memory concepts. We'll also talk about "The State of CoCo Hardware" as a discussion came on on projects, and various opinions on wants, needs, duplicate products, etc., so hopefully we can all weigh in on this, in a civilized manor, and we'll probably talk about other CoCo things, too!
