No doubt. I'm aware of this. I've been thinking about that for a very long
time.

I already have more than one plan. I wanted to make sure the team is still
around, otherwise there is no point to share any ideas and there is no one
to work on it.

I appreciate your honesty and I know that I couldn't be active for a long
time myself. Maybe we need to do some major changes!

Not really, at least not yet.

It might be a good idea for everyone who is interested in 'old computers'
to meet? nowadays, platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, etc are super
familiar and are being used much more than before!

I'm interested to host a meeting with all of those who might be interested.
If we can't do it for whatever reason, then maybe we can discuss that
somewhere?! not sure where though. By 'where' I mean which website? I don't
want to waste time creating tons of usernames and passwords and login to
different websites just to achieve something like this. This is 2020. I'm
sure there are different ways to do this nowadays.
