It's not just here, all of the newsgroups that I'm subscribed to are dead.

I always wanted to run a BBS when I was younger but never got around to 
it for various reasons.

I still have all of my old 800XLs as well.  Only one worked the last 
time I checked.  It's been a while since I've done anything Atari 8-bit 
related.

Always wanted a one megabyte MIO as well.  But, alas, it was more than 
my budget allowed.

I'm just getting back into the 8-bit.  I'd like to teach myself some 
6502 assembly.   The 800XL is fun to play with.
