The Guy running the irata.online thing is actively seeking people to help with
the building of clients for almost all the old micro's. He nearly has a C128
one ready, and is working on Atari and Amiga and others.

As for the content, I had a poke around and it seems to have A LOT of the old
LABs and course material up there online too. Which is very neet.
