IIRC, there was some debate in the _really_ early
rainbow magazines.
(Or maybe it was in the 80 Micros. I have those, I'll have to check
later.) They were trying to decide a nickname for the Colour
Computer. I don't remember off hand what some of the other candidates
were, but there were some people who thought CoCo was too 'cute' or
non-business like or some such.
I've always held the nickname as being rather obnoxious. Calling it the
"COC" would have been more masculine and macho!
