    Retrochallenge 2011 Summer Challenge

    The good thing about retrochallenge is that it tends to gently encourage you to go from 'I must do x/y' to 'I'm doing x/y'. I spent years saying 'I must write some VAX/Macro code' to 'I've written some VAX/Macro code' which I'm sure wouldn't have happened had it not been for retrochallenge...

    RetroBBS lives again!

    Now hosting the retrochallenge bbs for the foreseeable future on my humble Dell 7500 Inspiron laptop - average power consumption is 15 watts, not bad for an old box running NetBSD 4.0.1. Now all I have to do is get the VAX version going! telnet://bbs.retrochallenge.net Regards, Mark.
