I skipped a week last week while on vacation and have returned this week with a new batch of news. In addition we’ve also relaunched the Oasis BBS on our trusty old Lt Kernal Hard Drive setup from back in the day. Don’t forget to check the BBS out. You will need a terminal program that supports Commodore PETSCII graphics to use it such as CCGMS for the C64 or CGTERM for the PC. The Telnet Address is: oasisbbs.hopto.org:6400
