candyPunk Full Member USA 856 Posts	Posted - 18 Jan 2002 : 09:48:52 I'm so mad that BMUG shut down about 5 years ago. The BMUG newsletter was about as thick as the A volume of the encyclopedia and published quarterly. Argh. Say, that was back when 68k wasn't vintage...I wonder if my brother kept any of those things? They could prove to be useful for liberation. { candyPunk } { Captain of Observation, 68k MLA } { Macs liberated: 6 } { My baby: Q660av }

Wonkothesane Full Member USA 506 Posts	Posted - 19 Jan 2002 : 20:26:26 Hey, Trash80, you're in NY? Where do you go to liberate macs? Ever gotten anything from Tekserve? I once spied a compact mac in the back, but when I asked an employee about it, he told me that it "could be in for repairs" and wouldn't let me take it.

Ever gotten anything from Tekserve? yes, people give them to me or I grab 'em before DSNY arrives at the scene of the crime, I've bought so much stuff at Tekserve over the years that they humor me a little. They shake their heads that I've always been intrigued by this kind of stuf, and think that I have funny ideas (odd, funny, not the other kind) like the games? jt Edited by - Trash80toG-4 on 19 Jan 2002 21:00:02

It's best to just let the poor macs go at that point. They never run happily after being subjected to such horrors. That and the girlfriend monster always tries to "throw that disgusting piece of trash" out....Think of it as Mercy Killing once they reached that point 68k Macs Liberated: 5 1/2(One's not working yet)
