Tonight I am archiving some old system disks that were original Kats Alley BBS back in 1990-92 running Image 1.0-1.2! I am going through 35 year old emails, myself & mrs 8-Bit are laughing & enjoying our old teenage SysOp years! Here is one, "The Borg" was a co-sysop.

This was posted on X earlier today & I found it to be a very good break down for the Emulation vs FPGA, which one is suited better for each one of us, based on our needs.
FPGA better than Emulation?

Tonight was a first in a LONG TIME.
Due to RL medical w/Mrs. 8-Bit this year, theres been no free time. Tonight, I found an hour & made a few changes to RSPOS (retro inventory system). The big thing was to make the SERIES field show both the series # & description as seen here.
The Decmeber issue of Compute!'s Gazette arrived today!!
The smell of the fresh press print & stiffness of the pages takes this magazine back to 1980 something for me! Thank you @computesgazette.com.web.brid.gy @commodoreofcl

The first computer I played Wolfenstein 3D on at my Radio Shack store in Chandler Az, 1992! I set this up to be playable on all our 386/486 demo machines in the store. Made for easy sales! 😉
