Yes I remember Bob Clark

I am he, and I remember Peter Turnbull too. This is getting silly, because
this week I have relocated Bill Olivier (CommunITel) and Lindsay Reid (Viewfax
258), mostly by accident.
Best regards,
Bob
Hmm... want to add an ex-Micronet Employee, ClubSpot 810 editor, bulletin
board operator (incl. an official TG@H software user) Prestel message board
operator ("Free Speech") and suchlike? Namely Me!
It's a small world.

... the good news is that Lindsay still has Viewfax 258
backed up on 5.25"
floppy disks. There's quite a few disks, and we'd have to sort through them
somewhat to find the Gnomey bits. But Lindsay is happy to loan his disks to
Glyn the man with the archaic hardware, all he needs is his address. Then he'd
like his disks back. I figure we could probably blow the lot onto the first
quarter inch of a CD for him.
So our dream may come true and we'll have both the
Gnome on Prestel and the
Gnome at Home splurged all over our shiny new web site.
I fancied at one point digging out some of my old Beebs, setting the
fileserver up again, and linking the lot to a terminal-server on the DSL,
and hey Presto, my TG@H clone back online again! But .. does anybody do a
Java applet that will run a viewdata terminal emulation?
I have a complete archive of Freech backed up on various media, too, if
anyone were really interested in 15 year old ramblings from a moderated
chat board..!
Give my regards to Glynn as and when you see him - he gave me a Terry
Pratchett book once when I was up there admiring the rats nest, and I'm
still reading them - just been given the new one as a present :-) :-)
