    From James Schofield@21:1/5 to Commodore Clifford on Thu Mar 16 23:54:56 2023
    Had enough of this group have you Cliff? Lol..

    Well what can you do, I guess there are only so many people that get
    into this stuff.
    If you look on facebook there are lots of people who pop in a cartridge
    or play the odd game, but not that many that actually get into it. I am
    kind of surprised for the amount of people on Atari Home de or
    Atari-forum or Exxos forum that some of those people dont get on and
    use these things.. I mean really this is what our RETRO hobby is all
    about no?

    Hey guys, I log in here looking for news in my newsgroups! whats
    going on there. LOL.. Love the fact that we are the BBS guys, we are
    the USEgroup guys.. Everyone else is the facebook people it would
    seem, Actually 8-bit has a very loyal IRC following as well.

    I will be heading there after this.

    Sure was... Actually might have been one of the better ones. To think I
    almost cancelled it because I figured no one was going to show up on St. Patricks Day.
