To those of you who would support The Lounge being removed, would you support a Mac swap meet where discussing something other than Macs is banned?

I agree with everything Scott said except for the copyright stuff. Scott is on the far end of "Downloading that system 0.85 boot disk would be illegal", but most of us don't care a…

If you've managed to scrape the paint off, I'd love to see an "after" picture!

it will often lead to something negative ... Click to expand... Since Scott felt this "needs to be discussed," I guess I will add further thoughts. If we disallow posting beca…

I've waited to post my response to this discussion until now only so I could get a feel of how other members felt about the "state of the 68MLA". I will address each issue one at a…

It's nice to have a topic like this put "decline" at the front of everyone's mind. :-/

Can you make a list of the cards and if you are keepig them all? if there is a capture board (now missing its breakout box) it is kind of useless to you, but I might need it. Cl…

I think you people are missing the point, what keeps the 68kmla going is the people who have knowledge of 68k and early ppc macs who come to talk about them, and then maybe some ot…

it's a *MacALLY* keyboard. one of my ADB mice is a MacALLY one.

My room doesn't smell like old pizza! But I think one of my cats coughed up a big, nasty hairball in my closet, and another peed on some stuff in my closet... And I don't hav…

Yes i have just come to that conclusion lol. I have a DA mac siting here with a bad mobo, and missing all the plastic parts, but i have enough laying around i can make a decent mac…

I am an "oldie" here and yet I have a hard time digesting the new-fangled, Twitterific-style "community / socialization." Yet, if one wishes to define "community on this site" as …

For the hassle involved , I'd just get the right board that matches the dual 533 chip. A working logicboard would probably be only $20 on ebay. Stewie

SUCCESS!! Thanks all (Phreakout, Mac128, LCGuy) for your advice, here's how I finally got things to work. Using a 7.0.1 Disk Tools disk, modified with Ramdisk 3.2.3, I booted the …

Simple solutions: Lounge: Lets wipe the current Lounge and start fresh and forget all this crap. Software: Archive and start fresh (some of that info is useful).

Water can be perniciously persistent and penetrative. It can soak in under and between components and remain trapped in there for days until driven out by heat or dry air. When yo…

Yep, Scott was kind enough to sell me the Macintosh IIci that he conquested a bit back. It is indeed a horrible paint job, but it scrapes off easily. Works great too!

so really then, we have a bunch of oldies ( i generalize) who understand the community aspect and a bunch of newbies who 'dont get it' ? would that be a better way of framing it?…

You've got two choices - "Classic Networking" (using MacTCP) and Open Transport. Personally I'd use Open Transport, its newer, and far more easy to configure.

Wild, foot-stomping applause @ Mike and Trash80 above.

I know it sucks but clean up your room, theres 1 con to 2 pro's con: you have to clean up your room pro 1: you can have another mac pro 2: your room wont smell like old pizza, a…

I've changed the "View New Posts" link at the top of the page to exclude the Lounge Click to expand... Seems like a good idea to me, although after all the years of my coming t…
