Atari-Forum

This is a question really to Dal specifically.

I plan to have my computing students forum online within this month of July. There will be a retro computing section on the forum. May I link to the Atari Forum? I hope to make the current generation of students aware of what is out there and encourage them to explore fantastic resources such as this.

Let me know your thoughts.

Of course! Will be nice to have more young retro enthusiasts here.

Cool. Will get onto it. Hopefully when I hear from 2xAA again I will ask him to spread the word of the forum at the college he's going to in September, get them onboard and hopefully that will result in more exposure.

Tell you what, I found something interesting last year when I was studying a computer history module. We have an excellent lecturer/head of school who collects old machines. He's an Amiga man but he also has an Atari Falcon in his collection (yeah obviously I hated him to begin with before I came across that piece of knowledge, lol, not). We have a wide cross section of ages on our courses but during the lecture he asked who heard of various OSs, such as CP/M, GEMTOS or GEM, Amiga OS, Acorn OS etc. I was one of the very few people that put their hands up. 18 year olds, even right up to mid 20s simply have no idea such things even exist.
