Well, since the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army is now "fighting back for the Older Macs!", We need to ask ourselves, Wht does it mean to Liberate a computer?

I would assume that aquireing a Mac and makeing it useable counts, but not takeing one and ceremonially gutting it for the benefit of OTHER older Macs.

What other conventions does the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army have?

Seeing an old, abondoned 68K Mac and nabbing it, or paying for it, IE Liberating it, then try to bring it back to life...

Uhh...beating the crap outta snobby PC users when they make rude remarks about it

I do that whenever they make rude comments about any Mac, 128k to G4800DP. Or anything with an Apple logo on it, to be exact.

Yeah! Let a WinCE lUser look down their nose at my Newton MessagePad 130... the battery operated modem works really nice as a MorningStar between the eyes.

I would also like to count keeping a Mac for a collection, especially if the surroundings it is in are kind and warm, and it's come from a dirty and abusive home.
