🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠
Back with a longer than usual show this week but we have three great topics to get into. Can Commodore really be saved? The last "format" magazine closes. Finally, did you know that Ben Collins (once Top Gear's Stig) is an old school gamer? He took a shot at an Outrun record.
