04/12/2005 - Genesis8 the comp.sys.amstrad.8bit newsgroup
The comp.sys.amstrad.8bit newsgroup got 10 years old on the 4th August 2004. However there isnt so much messages, as a comparison comp.sys.sinclair has more traffic. The newsgroups does exist since a long time on internet, but maybe not everybody knows them. Or you could prefer to use mailing lists or web forums (which are a good thing), but in my opinion using an international forum as the newsgroup is better, the more people who will discuss on CSA8, the more replies everybody will get to his questions. To read newsgroups you can use outlook express or thunderbird if you use a PC. For more informations about comp.sys.amstrad.8bit you can read the CSA8/FAQ page of this site.
