Alright guys, enough is enough.
I'd ask everyone to take a chill pill, and act with humanity and understanding.

I just want to be really clear here guys -- please treat Tony's family with the utmost respect. This could be one of us some day.
Frankly, as someone who knew Tony, and appreciated him, I expect anyone that has dealings with his family to be 100% above board. If it comes out that there has been...
Hello All,
Just wanted to let you all know that over the upcoming weekend (starting 11/25-11/27) we'll be taking care of some routine care and feeding of the web stack the site runs on. This includes:
Upgrading the underlying VMs to the latest distro provided php/nginx/etc. We are currently on...

I snagged one of these on eBay a couple months ago for a very reasonable sum as I recently got a C500 from a friend.
I think it's finally time to test it out :)
Will take some pics and let y'all know how it goes. Likely my best random eBay catch in a while.

Hello All,
In the course of being an administrator for a site like the MLA, for as long as it has been around, you sometimes have to deliver bad news. It is with the greatest respect, and sadness, that I would like to inform you all Tony Diaz, a pillar of the Apple ][ and Mac communities has...
Hello All,
I figured I'd make a quick how-to for my own reference and to make this a little easier for folks who may want to emulate a powermac on Linux. This will be a step-by-step for each distribution, starting with Arch because I use it daily. This will be a WIP where I add sections for...

The moderation team has cleaned up some off-topic posts in your thread. We apologize for that, and ask that everyone remember others when posting. Everyone can make a...
Hello All,
We have updated the site/theme to the latest versions, performed much needed database maintenance, migrated the gnarliest functions to redis from db/file backed, and completed some general cleaning up. In this maintenance window, the following bugs have been squashed:

Hello All,
Coryw and I migrated email for the MLA to our new technology stack tonight.
Mails from 68kmla now employ spf/dkim/dmarc to help ensure strict email hosts no longer black hole notifications from the site.
Please let us know if you encounter any problems,
