Alright, you booger - I'll bite. :P I don't really know the current BBS place where current, up to date stuff goes - so many boards, softwares, sysOps and etc have different setups. Really I'd say that the FTNs are the best place - like right here @ fsxNet in the retro msg areas...

But @ 2o, my board, I like to have different sections setup where people can find current, different and unique content. So... since I have this C-128 project, I wonder if I can code up a C-128 section... hell, we'd need a moderator or two - cough... the guy who pulled my name into this - but... maybe I can swing a section @ 2o... that covers updating a C-128 [or C-64] in 2o21. There are PLENTY of people who REALLY know these computers.. and I don't wanna call their names out but. People who have posted on our threads in the past few days. And other folks who lurk in the BBS scene and elsewhere.

I'm interested - and I'll host a section for us to curate... if yer ready to curate it WITH me. :P I'll cover what I'm doing to MY C-128... and maybe you have some input too. The best place, tho, is right here on fsxNet... and I'll continue to post my blurbs here - come on over and help me create, sir Lightman.
