And yet I kinda like it, saying this as a fan of the original design. 
Ummm... What exactly did you say?
Congratulations on the new site. Could I just ask what this phrase means? A reasonble alternative in Spectrum Computing has existed for a few years but hasn't really lived up to its early promise. Cheers. Peter
Yeah, 'cos WOS has such a great track record with mini retro consoles doesn't it.
Honestly, Martjin's conspicuous absence even on the forum is very strange, almost a mystery...Juan F.

Indeed it is. There's already a thread about this. I'll merge this into it.
A couple of months ago, before I stopped using Facebook, I was still connected with Martijn. Don't have any correspondence with him but he was regularly putting up posts of his travels around the Far East with his wife. He's doing software/hardware security and regularly posted about security conferences he was attending or giving speeches to. Sounded like he was very happy but I assume with the Speccy scene he just got burnt out and has no desire to come back.Pegaz wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 12:16 pmHonestly, Martjin's conspicuous absence even on the forum is very strange, almost a mystery...Juan F.

I hope he is well and I would really like him to show up and clarify many doubts.
I understand if he wanted to leave the Spectrum scene, but I can’t believe he no longer cares what happens to the site he created.
The last thing I remember is that he posted a short message on the forum, maybe five years ago and nothing more since then.
Einar mentioned that he had some communication with him, when Martjin helped him with the export of the wos database but I don't know if they are still in contact.
Is he still in Thailand or has he returned to Europe, who knows ...
btw, I don't know if this wos classic relies on the web archive pages, but it's really fast, almost like Martjin's wos from twenty years ago.
It's also powered by ZXInfo API... However it's unfair that they currently provide links to all sites except ZXInfo. Someone please ask them to fix this!
