I can't see any angle where it's not at least a little bit tongue-in-cheek, am I missing something? 🤣

Ooo, it's always a fun little time capsule to see other people's memory cards too! See how far they got in their games! Like, did they give up just before the end, or on a notoriously hard boss? Did they play a mage or a warrior? Were they a racing fan?

Fun fact is that it's related to the forum only in name and spirit!
I've had to try to make this clearer in the disclaimer, because people kept writing to the vogons.org admins about site problems hahaha!

It started as a place to collect just a few megs, previously strewn across Rapidshare and Megaupload.
14 years later, it's become quite the beast!

Indeed it was a 140! And I found it!!
The little modulated warble in the first second was my ANTHEM, hahaha! I wonder what the cause is?

Oh yes
For me it's a WD Caviar ... Don't remember the model, but it was a 42MB drive.
It was a hand-me-down HDD. Long gone of course, but I'd love to hear it again some day!

Is there a good guide on connecting to #GlobalTalk with a Newton? I have a wifi-connected MessagePad 2000, hoping I could try do something with it!

More #GlobalTalk #MARCHintosh greetings!
Thank you @npub1j4d…ftz8 @npub10p6…68em and two mystery authors! Sorry to the person that sent "3 of them", the top got cut off by my printer, and I think your name was there! 😲

Getting keen for #marchintosh 2025!
I'm currently in a BBS headspace, wondering if there is some overlap I can leverage for funsies? Did Mac users have a BBS scene back in the day? ANSI+CP437 artwork or something different? Any cool classic Mac terminals, doors or boards I could/should check out?
