Hello MLAers, I've been working on making a version of the MLA available for browsing on our favorite vintage macs. The interface can be found here: http://classic.68kmla.org/index.html Please give this a shot and let me know what you think! I would consider this in alpha as of now. Styling...

Hello MLAers, We've re-enabled friendly URLs for the site. You'll notice URLs for posts and media now look something like this: Old: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/2025-12-26-approval-queue-purge.51330/ New: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/2025-12-26-approval-queue-purge.51330/...

Hello MLAers, We're going to do the yearly purge of the Account Approval queue, which is ever increasing due to spammers. The queue is up to over 10,000 spammer accounts which makes it hard to find the real entries that may have been inadvertently flagged by the automated system. This is an...

Congrats on the great find, post some pics for us!

Thanks for the chuckle @larwe !

Haha! Tell me about it. I've been eBay window shopping and the clean plastic part on top starts to look like cheese 🫥 I am starting to get the urge to max one out and have it be my precious baby 9.2 machine and I'll pivot my C500 disease to being 7.5 or 7.6!

I'm sure everyone here has their favorite old mac -- mine is the G3 AIO or "Molar Mac". The first time I saw one of these in my school library I was absolutely blown away and I remember vividly thinking, "thats one strange looking computer!" and always tried to snag one before they were swapped...

Well, I snagged another C500 from @defor … they’re multiplying! I just love the form factor of these…very nearly a pizza box! Anyone else have a deep and abiding love for the weird Macs and clones? 🙃 I’ll post a few pics later today. As is typical of defor this machine is super clean.

These old Sonnet upgrades just look so cool. I always ended up finding the XLR8 Mach/Zif slotkit adapters and never these!

Awesome find! I love the PowerComputing machines. I used to have a PowerTower Pro that was my daily driver. There was a time you could run Pandora on classic MacOS (when it was still flash!)

Awesome find, I'm so happy for you! What are your plans for it? I'd probably use it as is after troubleshooting the box. Someone already tiptopped it! :D

@elbaroni I absolutely love the waite group books. C Primer Plus by Prata from The Waite Group is how I learned C. Turns out there's a mac specific version I'd be interested to find one day! Looks like fun: Turns out our own @Crutch found a copy of the C compiler used in the book! Hmmm...

One more update: Auto-approval has been re-enabled. We'll work through any remaining folks in the queue.

Hello all, I wanted to post a quick post-mortem: 1) We moved the site in a prior maintenance period to some beefier hardware with additional storage during our last maintenance period to accommodate for media growth tipping the needle on making object storage viable from a cost and cost of...

Hello all, This maintenance period is now complete. Here's what happened during this maintenance: 1) The underlying hosting stack was updated to the latest os/web/php versions. 2) The attachment data was migrated back to local storage from the linode s3 bucket. 3) Forum data was rebuilt in...
