   Hahhah, don't worry about it. :) Just a mis-post.   
   I've never seen a 512K Tandy Color Computer 3 emblem either. I'm very sure   
   that Tandy never made/sold such labels, but I am fairly certain, for a   
   short period in time, that one of the advertisors in The Rainbow sold a   
   512K decal label for Tandy CoCo 3 owners. Never actually saw one in   
   person, and I don't know if it had the word "Tandy" on it.....though I   
   suspect it did and suspect it looked exactly the same as the original   
   label on the CoCo 3 (aside from replaceing the 128K with 512K on the   
   label).   
      
   When I upgraded by CoCo 3 back in the day, with a Disto 512K upgrade   
   board, I printed out a "512K" label using my DMP-105 and VIP Writer, and   
   stuck it on just to the right of the Tandy label on the top of the CoCo 3   
   case. Looked cheap and amatuer, but at the time I could sleep proud at   
   night knowing that everyone could see I had a whopping 512K of RAM. In   
   hindsight, it seems kind of boneheaded of me. :)
