I do sometimes feel all at sea on this site and find that it has a very American sense of humour.

Can we have some pie charts & such which graphically show things such as where 68kmla troops live, thier ages & so I guess I am saying should we have a survey done to Gain a clear picture of usership? Questions to be asked............

What os(s) do you use
Where do you live(country & region only)
What system(68k Apple(s)) do you own/use.
how old are you
are you m/f
what other computer sytems do you own/use

fav software(top five)
fav hardware(top five)

& so anyone else wanna take this up...........

I could start writing a mag "68k format"

sections in the mag could be................

Atari
Apple
Amiga(I suppose it ought to be included but only if someone else writes it(IMPO a completly at loss feeling has never been had than the time I attempted to work with an Amiga))

To start with I would need to research & see if I could get a list of every 68k machine ever made or perhaps I will just ask ppl what 68k they use.

Does anyone think Future publishing woulds sponser this action?

Would ppl here wish to petition Future publishing to get this to happen?

I read ST Format for a good while and also have now read Mac Format and I would be glad to have thier support.

We wiil petition Future Publishing and we will get a 68k mag.

As to whether it will cover just 68k macs or other 68k machines is open to debate, I want you all to tell me what you want.

I can see no reason(ie:- I dont want to see) why Future Publishinmg would not publish a 68k mag.

We are here today 28th May 2002 using this forum and indeed this web site so the readership is clearly there. 68k machines are a very seperate entity to other pc's and as well as being able to operate efficiently and successfully in the modern world they also have the "hobbiest" side to thier nature.

What I have enjoyed most about my Quadra is not the using of it but the putting together of the system and I am damn proud of what I have achieved. I have been learning constantly and have a greater knowledge of computers in general.

Y I man A shall bloody smack the world wi'me 68k.

jeez I get overpassionate.

All those washing machines that have 68030s deserve SOME kind of recognition.

But I think the 68k's are also yes they are there in fighter jets.

hmmmmmmmmmm we could use the fighter jets as military hardware & having washing machines is great for dirty troops on manouvers.

As for a 68k mag...there is no future in a print version, you all might as well give up on the idea. You could never get enough competent content, let alone enough advertisers to support such folly. A web-based 'zine on the other hand might actually have some merit, but would take mucho planning before you would have a decent looking product to put out to the public.

yes the age thing, a little embarrasing!

If we have ppl who are 20 or under then we must have a market, I shall post in another 68k forum now and round them up.

To be honest, I'm also a raving homosexual and just think Macs looks nice. But I am sure that can be said for most of you.

Only the Plus was really a "liberation", as such; it was in the attic of the house I moved into and has a German keyboard and looks like someone has poured tar on it. Poor thing. I am, as I type this, installing System 6.08 on it.

I'm from Scotland but I live near Birmingham.

I'm not a lesbian.

I can program in 68k asm but only for the Amiga. ~sigh~

My favourite hardware...erm...well, I like everything. Really! But it would take an awful lot to make me part with an Amiga 2000 again (God, I miss that machine.). And anyone trying to even touch my Q800 will meet a nasty end. Probably because it's not earthed and gives a lot of shocks. Woe betide those wearing nylon trousers!

Software...erm...Shufflepuck Cafe.

The best format for it would be to put "32 full colour pages!" on the front cover but then glue the back 8 pages together so that only 24 pages can be accessed.

Sponsership I would know of a few companies to try such as;

Analogic (provides 68k prehipherals & software)

Electronics shops.

Erm I need a few more.

Sections in the mag will be:-

Q&A
Readers ads
Features
Readers letters
Coverdisk
News
Operating systems

I think we'd best call it "Apple Mac 68k Format".
That way we will catch Apple fans thrpugh nostalgia & accident but it is clear enough to be 68k.

If we did get the mag & I do realise what a big "if" this is, Then I believe that we could get interest in development furthermore leading to the first 68060 Apple Mac Quadra 860av, thus leading to world domination, perhaps.

HAR!™ Dream on, shak! you could hand Apple the whole freakin' world on a silver platter and jobs and his stable of marketing morons would screw it up and hand it over to darth gates inside of 1.5 fiscal years!

all the second coming has done is to make APPL look good on paper for wall street as the mac's market share dropped to its present alltime low!

bleh!

Name: Adam Hope
Gender: male
Location IRL: currently Melbourne Australia Originally from Scotland

I seem to be a bit of a Mac magnet since arriving here, after only a month or so in Australia I had attracted a PTP 225 (Forgot to say it has a Quad 604e 150 card in it!) a Classic II a 7200/120 some drives a 20" Apple monitor RAM cables and now a ColourClassic and a Performa 6360.

My main machine is my ever faithful 9600 which I brought over with me. We've been throught think and thin. At one time or another its provided me with my main income and always helps out with the rent. It's only a matter of time before we take over the world.

Back home I've many more Mac's and despite what everyone says I've always thought the Performa 630 was a pretty good machine! I guess thats partly because I paid full price for it and it was the first one I owned. I had had access to many macs for quite a few years before that though. I remember going to university with a friend so we could use his dads Quadra, we thought it was the coolest thing ever(TM) and it blew away his SE/30!

About the magazine... When I moved to Australia I decided it would be a good idea to try and give up my MacFormat addiction as it 's too expensive buying it here. I haven't missed it much as I find the forums here and XLR8yourmac far more useful and entertaining than any printed magazine. I think healthy forums are actually better than a magazine in many cases. But it would be good to have some user submitted articles on the website. Things like a nice illustrated guide to overclocking LC475's and the like...
