Mike, will you keep your website and Tatung files up, while you adventure?

Yes, it is no longer self hosted so as long as I keep paying for it, it will be there 😀

I still hope to be able to find einstein software while on our travels as most motorhomers are older weekenders who may have retro computers and forgotten software in their lofts at home.

Always have a hat full of business cards with me with contact details for the web site, to give out, so hopefully people will be forthcoming! 😀

Watch this space!
