I'm following along, more from nostalgia than anything else. Sure not much going on here. I used to run an 8-Bit BBS in the Edmonton area called 'Apache'. Worked with an Atari club in Edmonton called 'TAC'. Still have my original 800XL from 1985 and all it's parts, a few extra 8-bits collected since. Haven't hooked them up or turned them on in years now. Afraid they may not work anymore. Run emmulation now and then to play a few games. I loved programming in Action! and still have the Cart and Runtime disks. Did sell off the MIO board, 30mb hard drive and R-Time8 cart after the BBS switched over to PC and wish I never did, but emmulation can do all these things without putting real hardware at risk of failure. Keep on 8-bittin'
