So this took me 2 months to get around to - but I have preserved a piece of software callled "SPEX+" on archive.org! Use to love messing around with it back on my RiscPC way-back-when, and was sad when I lost that copy. But it turned out well because the copy I preserved seems to have all 10 environment packs included - something I never had!

Abandoned RISC OS software in general seems to be poorly preserved, so I'm glad I was able to contribute as actual copies of SPEX+ will get harder to find! :partyblob:

Going live from the National Museum of Computing. We have created the biggest ever Econet network, and I'm going to try an early 80s MUD called Cave

This weekend I'm heading to the UK's National Museum of Computing for an Econet LAN party (late 70-90s networking tech by Acorn Computers). Going to try and create the world's biggest Econet network, free entry if you bring a machine, so I added Econet to my BBC Master.

I probably won't be able to stream from it without being really annoying to everyone around me, but if I can find a non-antisocial way, I will!
