Plans for the site

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Here’s what I hope to do with this site over the coming weeks/months. Not all of these will necessarily be implemented – this is just a rough guideline for starters…

  • Create a more appropriate theme for this blog – something incorporating Commodore 64 colours and sprite-style graphics, or maybe a Sinclair Spectrum look.
  • Create an “Old Skool Wiki” as a repository of information on the various systems and associated peripherals and software.
  • Some sort of “My Collection” database, where users of the site can record details of their collections.
  • Rarity and price guides, possibly mining eBay auction results to show recent prices paid for retro-computer auctions.
  • A buy/sell/swap trading section, with want-lists and so on…
  • Discussion forums.
  • Links to related sites.

Any suggestions/comments gratefully accepted.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. In this blog I will be discussing my addiction to collecting old skool computers and video game consoles. ;-)
