I know the site has not been updated for
quite some time now. I have spent time on other projects but will
be adding more soon. I was suffering from a fatal storage buffer overflow fault (otherwise known as 'junk collecting'), it has taken me a long time to instal a new storage device that should solve my overflow problem and will also allow easier random access of the contents, I have deleted any content that had not been accessed for a long time and have put some in stort term storage and this will be made available to other collectors. The new device is known as a 'loft' and is now fully boarded out with shelves and units. More contents will be catalogued soon, I promise. Thanks for keep coming back. |

Sorry it has been a bit since the last update. I have been working on indexing some issues and carrying out some requested work that I received by email. Oops. I also noticed I had not put the links to articles in the April 1984 issue so they are now there. Also all images should now be working as 8bs is back up and running again. |

Please note: The site is now hosted on Tiscali
webspace. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/themicrouser/
The email address is the same as I changed that some time ago. I have been testing the Tiscali webspace for a few months to see how reliable it was and it has proved to be good. I am sorry I have had to move it again but I am now able to expand the site again. I now have 50meg for now. I was running out of space on Freeserve but I may use some of the old web space for part of the site in the future. |

I am fed up with the unreliable madasafish
service so I have moved the site to freeserve web space. The new address is http://www.cocker13.freeserve.co.uk please update any bookmarks or links you may have. By the way does anybody know of any free web space providers which offer a reasonable amount of free web space. If I am to add a reasonable amount of TMU content I am going to require more web space.

A big thank you to Chris Richardson for
use of his web space. All cover scans are now hosted on Chris Richardson's excellent 8-bit software web site. This has now given me plenty of space to expand this website with more content. This web site is still on madasafish and all scans are still viewable as before from this site. |

stuff up here after my break. Thank You. For now there are some new indexes I have just added, see below. |
