Welcome fellow german Atarian

I am originally from Stadthagen, which is roughly 60km from Hannover, now living in the Area of Brunswick

I believe you will find the community here not only very competent and productive but also very friendly, so no doubt you will feel welcome.

I mean Fidonet exists still of sorts, and there are several other nets as well specializing in certain kinds of discussions and file distribution. RetroNET for example deals with retrogaming/retrocomputers. Cool, did not know that. A reason more to get my serial interface for the 800XL done... and ...

Keep in mind to never give users unmoderated access to uploads. You could end up having child porn uploaded to your server and not noticing it until a cybercrime unit finds it...

And this is coming from someone, who's solely 16 Bit Atari is a STE ;) I said it a couple of times before: We would all very much prefer a little less of a motivated and healthy Chris than have you burned out and not beeing able to use your hands any more...

Sounds like a good idea

Hmm, yesterday I bought a tape drive for a TI 99/4A for 10 EUR on a flea market. Unused in original packing...

I am going to be rich!
