FREEZE64 issue 80 is all written and page-set.
It’s now with my #Commodore64 #C64 partner in crime, @gamesthatwerent.com who is going to give it the once over.
One of my favourite issues so far 😊❤️

I will shout it from the rooftops. Get a Fujinet. Make cool stuff with it. Share among your friends. Make old computers talk to each other.

Go!

I keep trying to tell people about #FujiNet.
That it is a WiFi adapter for your favorite #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #Commodore, #Atari2600, #AtariLynx, and #MSDOS machines, with more to come.

But word isn't getting out.

Can u help?

Creators who make videos showcasing recipes they've compiled for those on extreme budgets and create printable zines with those recipes they encourage others to distribute are doing the work.

My thanks to them.

A BBS-like (groups, games, news etc.) service with a basic HTML browser (mostly text) for pages and blogs. Maybe a Bluesky/Mastodon simple client.

IIRC the Coleco Adam uses two tracks at the same time. It's not stereo, but it's interesting.
