    Hello,

    Does anyone enjoy restoring vintage computers or electronics as a hobby? I've had the fun of restoring several compact Mac's and an Amiga 500. Strangly relaxing :)

    Hopefully you are now carrying the new HNET_COMPUTING echo, devoted to anything
    computing related.

    Not vintage computers per se, but I do enjoy taking slow, old PC and switching it to a Chromebook. The result is a much faster computer without any expansion or expense at all.

    Awesome!
    Thank you for adding the new echo(s)!

    I'm set to automatically add any new echos from your net, just need to add them to my RemoteAccess message base side now. :)

    I will work on the hobbynet.na file today to define the topic of each new echo, and will send it out via email when it is ready.
