I remember looking at usenet about a year ago (comp.sys.sinclair
probably) and was amazed at how active the group still seemed to be.
Lots of the old 8-bitters here still seem to have a dedicated following
coming up with new projects; the Acorn BBC micro, Sinclair and C64 are
still popular machines. Apple systems seem to take a back seat as they
never were quite so popular, same with CBM's PET systems.
Lots of discussion over on the BBC micro mailing list at present about
building a gateway between Acorn's Econet network and modern Ethernet,
which could allow some pretty cool things to be done from a beeb...
Nice to see people still doing cool stuff on these machines :-)

Yesterday I just finished piecing together two
dead spectrums into one
working unit. I had a few problems with screen quality so I replaced
the modulator with a little composite circuit. Better quality, though
flicker still remains.Might add a power switch also. This has been my
first foray into Sinclair machines.
There's a lot going on in the Sinclair world still. Google for
Sinclair Spectrum and be amazed!
