Show 016: Abandonware

 

No - attaching floppy disks to the filing cabinet with a magnet is not - I repeat, not - a good way to store them.

Welcome to Show 016!  This week we cover Abandonware.

Topics and links discussed in the podcast...

The Retroputing site - preventing the fossilization of classic computers!  Features the Particles BBS.
Wikipedia to the rescue again, with a great article on Abandonware.  Check out the text, and their links.
Check out the official world archive for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and the largest on-line gaming center on the Internet.  Hats off to Amstrad for officially endorsing this!

Be sure to send any comments, questions or feedback to retrobits@gmail.com.

Our Theme Song is "Sweet" from the "Re-Think" album by Galigan.

Thanks for listening!
