Kady Mae Junior Member USA 261 Posts	Posted - 23 May 2002 : 12:10:16 I just met Space Boy about 15 minutes ago! Woo Hoo. He's a student worker at the library where I'm staff. We'll have sometime next week and talk about 68ks, 'puters, and sci-fi movies. (And if nothing else, I can probably talk him into keeping his eyes peeled for old 68k laptops when he goes "computer mining". I want to make a PHKL.) 68K's liberated: 0 68Ks adopted to loving homes: 2 PowerMacs adopted: 1
cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 23 May 2002 : 12:33:03 Very cool! I'll most likely be metting TiMacLover on Saturday! We should organize a once-a-year meet, maybe one in the US and one in Aus! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!
SpaceBoy Full Member USA 631 Posts	Posted - 23 May 2002 : 13:06:03 Yep, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've met someone that I knew online in 'real life'. Kady- I'd be happy to be on the lookout for 68k 'books- I'm currently looking for one or two to set up my mom and aunt with basic email accounts, so if I turn up any extra I'll let you know! Later, SpaceBoy AppleBASIC FOREVER!

scchicago Full Member USA 936 Posts	Posted - 23 May 2002 : 13:34:30 Perhapps the North American meet can be in a central location. Rather than on one of the coasts. Somewhere in the middle of the continent. Maybe Chicago? What do you think? _________________ HotLineServer: scchicago.dynodns.net Website: http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE AIM:scchicago87 Yahoo!IM:scchicago

Very true- that's one reason so many conferences are held here. If we were ever to have a MLA get-together here in Vegas, maybe we could time it to mesh with the (semi)anual Classic Gaming Expo that's been held here for at least two years running. I went to the one year-before-last, and it was a real blast. I've never seen so many Atari geeks all in one place before! Just a thought... SpaceBoy AppleBASIC FOREVER!

Flash Full Member Australia 637 Posts	Posted - 25 May 2002 : 06:31:47 Heh heh, meeting online people offline - that's always....interesting. I did the classic 'meet a girl over the internet' (we were both on ICQ at the time) and when we met in real life I did a runner. I know it's very shallow of me, but she was very not good looking and I can only take a great personality so far. It's not that we couldn't have been friends (I'm not that shallow!), but she was definitely looking for a relationship and she wouldn't have left me alone.... hmm, before I dig that hole any deeper and have to open my mouth to change feet (IE. make mysef sound like an a**hole when really I'm not).... the only other person I've met offline is Bigsadu. And coincidentally we used to live quite close to each other in NZ (we're both Kiwis - go the Crusaders!!!! Kick that ACT butt!!!) The Sadu and I get on quite well but then, he's married and not likely to stalk me ;-) LOL! Hey ~Coxy, when you come to town I'd be keen to catch up for a beer or two. Same goes for all of you guys and gals :-) cheers Flash! 68k MLA ParaMedic
bigsadhu Junior Member Cayman Island 462 Posts	Posted - 25 May 2002 : 07:54:16 That's Sadhu! Definitely I'd like to re-iterate Flash's invite... NSW is a very friendly place. Anyone who's keen enough to pay us a visit is certain to recieve some very warm hospitality. The clime is hot, the beer is cold, and the beds are soft. And who knows, maybe you could even end up with a couple of LCs to take home with you...... BTW, For you North Americans who may not be au fait with Southern Hemisphere sports... the Kiwis handily dismantled Australia's best in the final of the Rugby Super 12 tournament tonight... GO YOU CRUSADERS! Cheers!

scchicago Full Member USA 936 Posts	Posted - 25 May 2002 : 18:55:53 I don't think I could really ever go. I have a really tight budget. Besides I don't even have a car! I get around mostly by bicycle. I'm pretty much limited to the local area around where I live. _________________ HotLineServer: scchicago.dynodns.net Website: http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE AIM:scchicago87 Yahoo!IM:scchicago

bigsadhu Junior Member Cayman Island 462 Posts	Posted - 26 May 2002 : 01:13:15 I'm in Bondi... Sydney Eastern suburbs.
