So, I've been kind of put in charge of the archives of the classic

disk magazine . 13 years and 680MB of disk images and related things for $15, here: rodneylives.itch.io/loadstar

I'm still trying to figure out how to make it more browseable. I have some ideas.

That's one big archive! I'll let the folks at TPUG know

Thanks! Me and a couple of people from loadstarce.com have been working to make sure everything works, we've fixed up some images from versions that were broken on the original CD.

that looks like ... a lot of work.

I'm working with a local academic computer museum to see what we can do for the records of several local user groups. Sadly, a whole bunch of the detailed stuff that the museum really wanted got thrown out a few months ago. There's plenty more, but not of internal paper documents

There's a lot of old user group info in the later issues of Loadstar, I think, I haven't checked those files.

thanks - maybe I can find stuff about TPUG

Talking of, would you like to present (virtually) at a TPUG meeting about reviving Loadstar?
