Genesis 8
From CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!
Genesis8 is the codename of Emmanuel R.
Genesis8 was the name of the french BBS dedicated to amstrad.
When Internet began to be more accessible, Genesis8 created a public anonymous FTP, including lost of stuff about Amstrad : demos, music, and so on. The FTP service was hosted at IBP (Institut Blaise Pascal, ftp.ibp.fr) that became LIP6 (Laboratoire Informatique de Paris 6).
Genesis8 is also the "chairman" of the newsgroup comp.sys.amstrad.8bit.
In 1995, the mirror was small enouch to fit on a 100Mo Zip ; in 2008, the mirror fits in 319Mb (compressed).
