Hmm... want to add an ex-Micronet Employee, ClubSpot 810 editor, bulletin
board operator (incl. an official TG_at_H software user) Prestel message board
operator ("Free Speech") and suchlike? Namely Me!
It's a small world.

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_at_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 :-) :-)
