Just registered over here @ MAF... looks nice! 68k for Life! (well, when im not using 10.2.2 ) :

I'm just hoping NC can install that mod to allow client-side prefrences for image, avatars, signatures, and flash animations (a al AAF) 

I like having images at my disposal, even if I don't use them much.

Quote from the 68KMLA Mission Statement

Whenever there is a lost and forlorn 68k Mac, we'll be there.
Whenever there is a used 68k Mac auction, we'll be there.
Whenever there is a good 68k Mac deal on eBay, we'll be there.
Whenever someone in the community needs 68k Mac assistance, we'll be there.
Whenever someone insults the pride of a 68k Mac, we'll be there (to beat them with a 2' x 4" with a 10" nail driven through it).
We are the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army.

Some of us are collectors, some are dealers, some are just fanatics. Some are involved in direct operations, and some act on behalf others. But we all share a common goal: the successful liberation and implementation of 680x0 series Macintosh computers. The 68k Macintosh Liberation Army defines liberation as the removal of a 68k Mac from unloving and unappreciative surroundings. Once liberated, a 68k Mac can be implemented into one's home network, a child's bedroom, a bathroom, etc. All around the world, dirty and unwanted 68k Macs are being hidden away, retired from active duty. "Where?" you might ask. Closets, cupboards, storage rooms, and even under beds! These are not safe places for unassuming 68k Macs. After being put there, these Macs are practically destined for life in the garbage! The mission of the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army is to put an end to this evil 68k torture.

At the very least, these Macs must be taken from their "death row," checked, booted, and given some maintenance (a can-of-compressed-air assault, new PRAM battery and a fresh OS install). If you can find a way to return these Macs to active duty, then you have found out what it really means to be a member of the 68k MLA. Just remember: every 68k Mac can be a source of happiness and joy for many others. 68k MLA soldiers realize that every 68k Mac is special, every model has its merits, and almost no computer should be turned down. Even those with little space should accept 68k Macs, if only to pass it on to a friend (or foe, for that matter) who has not yet experienced 68k bliss. Youngsters can also benefit from and appreciate their own computers even if it may be just an LC. There are 68k Macs which are rare, valuable, or powerful. Likewise, there are 68k Macs which aren't rare, valuable, nor powerful. But these machines are really of no more intrinsic stature than any other Mac. ALL Macs have a right to be loved! And at the end of the day, this is what the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army is all about (that and violent assault of people who blaspheme the Quadra 950/840av series and/or think that classic Macs actually are just portable televisions).

I have a Mac Classic II that I know isn

TNX for the info and the links Captain Z!
Shame the website seems to have quite a few broken links.

I've a question, I just got myself a Powerbook 180C (I love it)which is my first 86k Mac.
However it needs a  new/bigger HD, what's the largest hard disk that'll fit in this machine and where to get one?

Not a problem. If you find any links that are broken on the website, be sure to find out if they are being fixed on our forums. The website is always under construction, andis likely to be like Swiss cheese once in a while.

As for your 180c, that model uses 2.5" SCSI HD's. Being that they pretty much have been out of production for a few years, the largest you will likely find them is at most 750MB (I'm not even sure if they go that high).

Now before this thread gets out of hand with people asking stuff about thier 68K Macs, I should point this out. Although we originated from the MacAddict forums, we have our own forums, with a much larger user and knowledge base. If you have a question, it is a good idea to pop by the 68KMLA Forums, and ask your question.

By all means stop by our forums at www.literatureclassics.com/68kmla/ and ask your questions, but keep 68k life alive here in the MAF too!
