I hope it's not too terribly depressing, but I'm afraid I'm going to
have to shut down the floppertalk mailing list. It gets almost 300
spams per day that have to be monitored and rejected, and it is becoming
an administrative hassle. So, you all have about a week to say your
final peace :-) after which I'll be shutting down the list. (Note that
the Flopper webpage and possible future development will NOT cease, just
the mailing list.)
So, if you want to address the group, now's the last week to do it :-)
I'll start: Flopper was very fun for me to work on; in the era before
dosbox and mess, it was the only way to capture screenshots from
bootable games, and I had great fun writing a disk image dumper and GIF
conversion program. It brought Dan and Jeff together, and I think Jeff
and myself to a degree. Plus, I got to design a cool logo :-)
