Sean Fahey, operator of the popular A2Central.com Apple II portal, announced today that development efforts are underway to make significant additions to the services offered.”In order to make A2Central.com the ultimate resource for Apple II users it was always meant to be, we’ll be expanding our free services by implementing a bulletin board system that will offer chat, messaging, and file sections,” Fahey said. “These services will be available for access both via telnet and on the web, so we’ll be keeping one foot squarely in the past for our Apple II users, and our other foot forward for today’s modern platforms.”

The new system is expected to be in testing during October and launch by November of 2006. Access to the new bulletin board features will be free of charge.

Fahey added, “We have plans for a few extra features that we think will be a lot of fun.”
