G'day Jordi,
With regard to the swappies, it's become impossible to hold them at our current venue, in fact we aren't even where we were with the meetings, the new address should be on the web site, and it's gotten so bad it looks like we'll be looking for a new venue entirely.
I'm pretty disillusioned with it all at the moment, I'm going to remain a member, because if the club winds up, I might score some gear if I'm lucky.
An example of how out of touch the members are, about six months ago, I wrote an article on what processor cache is for, posted it on the BBS, got two replies, one saying good article, just not relevant in this day and age, and the other, does this have anything to do with OSX, the last I thought was quite stupid, because if the person had actually read the article, they would have seen that it certainly wasn't. Getting OSX to run on a Performa 580CD would have been a good trick.
Oh, and on the subject of our BBS, I lost the battle, the retarded admin team moved the Apple ][ conference into the Mac Classic - Pre-OSX conference. at least is wasn't deleted… I posted in the conference that it was retarded, and the pic at this link:

I'm counting the hours before someone complains, and I get told off.
Top score on the 2400, available on in Japan if my memory is right, saw one at a swappie about three years ago, impressive machine even without the upgrades you've got. I have a 3400 here awaiting repair, trackpad needs replacement, it's been sitting here a while, and I'm half hoping the owner might forget about it or let me have it in exchange for something he wants.
Speaking of ones that got away, a mate of mine was moving house, and he was forced to toss a 9150, he would have told me, so I could have arranged to pick it up but he was without a phone, no landline, no mobile…and now no 9150.
No current projects on right now, did have an LC 520 lined up, but it's owner decided to give it to a friend, who promptly killed it. It would have been given the uprade treatment. I'll be doing all sorts of stuff when I get me shed. First thing I'll be doing is a proper inventory of my collection and parts stockpile. My greatest past project has been my upgraded 580, I posted the spces back at the old forums. I would have had a few things I could have done for the Retrochallenge, well, there is next year…
Heh, there is something I may be able to work on, if I can get the parts, it's not RC, but I will be bragging about it when it's done.
