Old Computer Challenge 2026: "Make Something"The #OldComputerChallenge is underway, with the theme being "make something." I've been going crazy making services for #CGHMN pretty much all year:ShaRetro, a text and image sharing serviceWeather.retro, weather conditions and forecastsThree live RealMedia channelsA webring serviceA ZIM readerAn FTP server with over 3 terabytes of vintage PC warezArcturus, an Archie-compatible FTP search engineA QuakeWorld 2.30 serverA reverse-engineered data server for NCAR's old Java METAR viewerThis week, I set up a classic Majordomo listserv and started the "retrochat" mailing list, giving CGHMN members a place to share and discuss whatever #retrocomputing -related things they've been up to. It ended up spurring interest in email on the network, and IRC has been buzzing with chatter about people trying to get accounts and clients set up.#blog
