Not dead yet. And, there's a fellow in comp.sys.atari.advocacy who
wants to talk about STs.

The design of the assembly language for the MC68000 is beautiful! It was
created for programmers to *directly* program in assembly language. Many of
the RISC architectures are quirky and are intended to be used as targets for
compilers. Putting MC68000 assembly language next to x86 assembly
language... is like standing Cinderella next to her ugly step-sisters!!!

Well I'm one of the lurkers. I've been getting back into old computers and firing up/restoring mine. Surprisingly most have started right back up other than keyboard problems.

need of a "web" interface and all.

I lurk too. :-) Hard to give up fond memories of Atari when computing
was simpler.

If I ever win a lottery, I'd like to update/modernize my Hades 060, but
that's not in the near future. :-(

No, I'm not a dreamer.

But some projects can still exist (hardware, programming, games) and
maybe some question can be posted here that I can answer.

They pulled a lot of game cartridges out of a dump, so anything is possible.
