Yep, basically getting a backup done as the main hard drive is getting very
long in the hours dept and starting to suffer from stiction.
But we are doing things on it we never ever dreamed about in 1990. I don't
have it up and running, but one of the guys actually has a simple web
server running on his, so folks can actually browse, and download stuff
from it.
Some very talented people have come on board the coco scene in the last 4
or 5 years, and magic is now being rather routinely done on the old girls.
Cheers, Gene
