Good idea, how much server space have we got to play with? If we posted HQ scans of really cool old hardware product literature/ads etc. like on some of the truck restoration sites, top tier Mac sites would link back to our content (been done yet? if so, gimme some links! if not, whadda-ya-think?)

p.s. We got a website? I thought THIS was the website!

technosaur

Back again, found it after I took a nap. "The needs just...." must have looked like "out of order" to me, but I do recall some of the cheekier comments, and the FAQ. Somebody should append "'re" or insert "are" to fix "you far, far.....", cute though.

I should have been more specifix above, think early Radius displays & accelerator literature. SE/30 cards, the NewLife cards to update a fatmac to plus w/external monitor, first HDD's for Pluses, MacCharlie, Thunderscan, early scanners and a cost tracking chart ($5k+ down to $50) Timeline of Graphics software/cpu/input-output device, developments, really outrageous vaporware fiascos (spreadbase), yadda, yadda......lot of work to take on, but if it could be an interactive online let visitors add their $.02 to show off deal, it might generate a lot of interest, and snowball....is there such a thing as online group project software?

sorry about the ramble, I'm trying to stay awake 'til bedtime and can't play with my power tools or truck (safely).

May I present to you, the head of the 68k MLA website

*FireWire is fast takes a bow*

I'll have to go on a grammatical/spellings error campaign against the website again in the near future...and start compiling spec links/commments...

My pleasure to meet you, FW.

....felt a lucid moment coming on so I thought I'd better return for battle damage assessment at the scene of another incoherence attack, so:

I know about some of the museum/directory links for macs (would appreciate more!), but exploring sites covering similar fields of interest might be a good source of ideas.

Here are some links to the kind of thing I was suggesting:

Check out this site for a brochure/advert posting format:

I'm not sure the dial-up afflicted want to try this first link unless they like to run errands during pageloads, (but I'm curious enough to want to find out if I needed to come back and post this disclaimer, some adventurous soul, please let me know about load times so I don't have to let the HDD w/AOL on it out of quarantine, TYIA)

Check out these sites for formats I think would be great for obscure 68k articles/developments/mods/accessories/peripherals etc:

http://www.cameraquest.com/rfren.htm
http://www.nikonhs.org/article_mar98/articleNHS_1.html

...found them both up one level on this site, it might be too lame for exrerienced web types to imitate, but I thought this formatting of material from scattered sources was worthy of stealing:

If anyone has better examples, post 'em, I'd really like to check them out. Don't take that as a challenge, I really want to learn more about web info. distrib. strategies. I'm not interested in pretty design so much as efficient user access to content.

btw: gimme-a-link-please! I'd like to see a glossary for net jargon that includes the derivation of words and expressions like "troll" or "trolling for", IMHO "trawl" and "trawler" have better connotations for NET or WEB terminology, "troll" with appearance and light sensitivity connotations as in LOTR, seems a perfect choice as webspeak for some web/computer types, present company excepted of course (mainframe acolytes, they NEVER get out).

So, no I wasn't asking THAT! Ignorance (strictly defined here, I'm not asking for clarification regarding applicatability of generally accepted, but inaccurate and derogatory, secondary connotations either) I'm working on, but my inquisitive nature appears to be terminal condition, maybe I'll come back as a cat.

last part cryptic enough?
bonus point?

jt :-)

p.s. IS types too, they shouldn't be ALLOWED out (and if you even considered touching a dictionary, I demand 2 bonus points).
