Hi everyone, I'm new to the 68kmla, so if there's anything that needs explaining email me or reply to this. New finds:-powerbook duo 280c 24/320- good working order with cracked screen - Quadra 700 8/40 (original hd replaced) working w/ bropken floppy drive (will replace it when I get the time) - another duo 280c 8/320 with good screen and possibly bad hd. Also when I get the time I am going to switch screens with the other powerbook to get one working one. BTW how do I determine my rank/position/job?

Welcome to the barracks.You can pick any rank/title/whatever (although the local brass reserve all the top titles like General and Grand Admiral(although what Admirals are doing in the army, I'll never know). A recent topic (Applying for a Rank and Position ) might given you an inkling what some others have picked. BTW, I like your description of the floppy drive as "bropken" It may be just a typo, but it looks like good combo of "dropped" and "broken" to me. I have many a bropken digital tidbit myself.

And what about the various AF's? I've also taken to referring to the stuff on the bottom of an LC 475 "proto-feets," but I haven't actually used that one around the Army yet...
