Happy 2nd Birthday to the Forum & Repository - ChickenMan - 07-10-2021

We have survived another busy year, so happy 2nd birthday to this forum and file repository.  Thanks to all those that have contributed to the forum and to the repository, without your help none of this will survive.

In the past 12 months we have been busy and there has been many additions to the repository as well as a number of files updated to working condition, files added/replaced or docs replaced with better quality or complete scans.

AppliedTech-Pre-bee had 21 additional files plus 1 updated
Documentation had ......210 additional files plus 27 updated
Software had ...............148 additional files plus 9 updated
Public had ...................195 additional files plus 7 updated
Vintage had .................322 additional files plus 15 updated

So thats a total of 896 files added to the repository and 58 files updated in the last 12 months. These numbers are down from last year but they were high last year due to a massive addition to the new System-80 Repository. This now makes a total of just over 10,000 files all up in the repositories! 

A big thanks to everyone thats contributed, be it small or large, to help the repository grow for the help to all our members and for the future.  Lets see if this can be repeated in the next 12 months though it is getting harder to find new material.

While the forum is mostly Microbee orientated, we support all Australian Made and Produced Vintage computers plus 2 other imports that were well supported here, being the Exidy Sorcerer and Dick Smiths System 80. We are continually looking for new material to archive for the future, so if anyone can help with anything Microbee or any other Australian Vintage computer, that would be great. We can image disks, scan docs, convert images to pdfs, dump tapes, etc for you if you cannot, just ask.

Five new Folders were added to the Vintage Repositories in the past year :-

Micro_Byte
Micropro_Design
Microtrix
Southern_Cross
Terran

Happy Birthday and thanks to everyone.

That's an amazing amount of work!
Many thanks to Chickenman and others involved.

Now to find the MWBASIC versions between versions 2.7 & 5.0.
These will be hard because they're (short lived) transient versions.
