Wow... I don't know any of you!

Well, it's been 4 years and 6 months since my last post... so, how's everyone doing?

I have just rediscovered the 68kmla and decided to reclaim my user id. I was a member of the "Old Forum" with 80 posts between July 6th, 2002 and February 3rd 2003. I was around (though mostly lurking the Vintage forum at MacAddict) when the 68kmla was formed. Good times!

My first computer was a Mac IIsi, which I received as a Christmas present in 1994 (pre-owned, obviously). This was my one-and-only until I drained my bank account to $13 to purchase the original iMac the day it was released in 1998.

I'm not sure how many liberations I have made... over 100 I'm sure... about 60 in my personal collection. Someday, when I get organized there will be a list. That day is not today.

My most recent liberations are non-Mac. A Sun Ultra60 Dual-450 and a Sun SparcStation 20. I won both of these items in an auction a couple weeks ago for $5 each at the establishment where I just happen to administer the network. Imagine that.

Vintage Mac sites are dropping like flies. Hopefully, I can contribute something to this one.

Woot, good to see some of the founders returning! Indeed, vintage Mac sites are dying off. However, this one just keeps growing!

I was on the old forum 4+ years ago. You must have left just before I showed up (same name).

Welcome back!

I don't know if you'll remember me... I was about for most of the same time as you, but wasn't really one of the "high profile" members.

Thanks, glad to be back!

I definitely remember you! I figured some of the oldies had to still be around 🙂

Thanks! LOL, I hardly consider myself a founder... about as much as a fly on the wall at the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 🙂 Glad to see the site is still going strong!

Likewise! I don't expect that too many people will remember me... I was only around for 8 months a long time ago.

Hmm... interesting... Here is my profile page in the "Old Forum Archive". The email address is no longer valid (I'm still not happy that Apple started charging for .Mac email) and my web page is parked.

Sorry, unfortunately I don't... you seem to be pretty active today! 🙂 I wasn't exactly high profile myself back in the day.

Just selected an avatar... The picture is of my Duo 2300 when I repaired the battery terminals about 5 years ago. First time I ever soldered on a motherboard.

Welcome back, and now, (it hasn't been announced yet!)

Vassili Zaitsev is none other than ..........

Shaktiman!

After a recent hiccup with the hosting I took advantage and changed my user-name.

Who realised?

Posted by: LCGuy on 2007-08-09 14:43:40
I already knew who you were 😉

Posted by: aftermac on 2007-08-09 15:01:09
LOL, I picked up on the "admin thing"... my "active" comment was kind of tongue-in-cheek. 🙂

Thanks, Vassili Zaitsev I had no idea who you were!
