I'm too new for you to remember me, but I'm glad you came back! It goes to show that the passion for old Macs never leaves a person.
glad to have u back, no way u would know me, im pretty new, but pre crash, but definitly glad 2 have u back!
Welcome! You won't recognize me; I joined in January 2007.
I had just gotten my 2nd Mac about 4 years and 6 months ago; a 7200/90. I loved that thing to death... (literally). It no longer works.
But, that 7200 is where it allll started. 4 years and 6 months later, I've got over 50 machines in my house.

Thanks, Scott, gobabushka, and IPNixon!
I can't speak for anyone else, but part of the obsession for me is finally getting a chance to play with all this stuff that I could barely afford to read about when I was a kid.
That's quite a collection IPNixon!
A couple weeks ago I started going through my collection, which I have sadly neglected over the last few years as life has happened (work, house, marriage - St. Patrick's day this year, no kids yet - but I'm sure that can't be too far in the future). This project is a big reason why I have come back to 68kmla. Quite a few of my computers have software from previous owners, which I am backing up to my G3 for archival. Anyway, yesterday I pulled out my 7200/90 and powered it up for perhaps the second time since I've had it. Pretty nice computer... of course I say that to all the Mac's.

Well, I'll take this opportunity to say that I'm also a bit of an oldie in terms of 68kMLA. I think the only people I can identify who have been part of this community longer than I have are LCGuy, Danamania and Cinemafia, although if he's still around here in some form, MacTO might give me a run for my money.
Active all the way until March 2007, when my priorities shifted from "wasting time on the forum" to "passing some 300-level courses as a Freshman." (got an A in ENG321, if anybody cares.
)
Anyway, good to see some more faces from way back when!

Definitely, good to see some oldies still around! Oh, and congrats on the A Cory5412!
Your name looks familiar Temetka, but 2002/2003 was a long time ago so I could be making that up. I plan on be here a while, but life happens and as you said, "people come and go".
I'm pre-crash too.

Nope, 2004 was a good year after my last post in the old forums. It funny, this go-round in the forums I have almost as many posts in less than a month than I did in my entire previous stint.You probably won't remember me. I registered...god, I don't remember! 2004? Anywho, it was a while back.At one point I was the member with the most posts - but that didn't exactly make me popular, so now I keep a low profile here.
LOL... I've found that it's usually more enjoyable to have good-natured discussions and debates than to go around intentionally pissing people off... damn maturing with age!
The 7200 was a good machine, I have the same one that I've toted around with me during my moves of the past few years along with my favorite 8600/200 and a duo 2300. Most of the others are still in the attic of my ex-wifes where I had started a decent collection.Welcome! You won't recognize me; I joined in January 2007.

Where about in New Haven are you? That used to be my old stomping ground back in the early '90s.
