28.10.2023 - Plus/4 emulator YAPE 1.2.4 released
YAPE is a decent no-nonsense Plus/4 emulator thats being developed for 10+ years. It is available in Windows as well as multiplatform editions.

25.10.2023 - A PETSCII Message from "Hooked On A Feeling" Blue Swede Singer Björn Skifs - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
There's a PETSCII-encoded secret message on the cover of the 1984 solo album from Björn Skifs, who is famous as the singer of "Hooked On A Feeling" covered by his band Blue Swede that was a #1 hit song in 1974, and again in 2014 as part of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack. We take a look at the record, including a survey of the writers of all the songs (a very accomplished group!) and then set about decoding the message with a trusty Commodore 64.
