Retrochallenge, 2005

Hold the phone... Maybe other classiccmp readers already know this; I didn't... MLA stands for "Macintosh Liberation Army"...!? Http://www.68kmla.net/faq.php ... wow, and I thought Newton people were the crazed militants. Seems to me that "devoted to the history of the personal computer" ought to start 50 years ago, not with the Mac: http://www.blinkenlights.com/pc.shtml -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Ronald Wayne Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 2:09 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Retrochallenge, 2005 In a world where people view 486's and obsolete and worthless, is there any point in excluding them? As for MLAgazine being a Mac groupie site, well, it is. The Retrochallenge started with the 68k MLA and we are now trying to expand interest beyond the Mac community. Hopefully that bias will be overcome in the future as more people become interested in the challenge. As for a non-Mac user getting an article published on a Mac website: just think of it as an opportunity to discuss the history your favorite machine. MLAgazine is a site about Apple *history*, as such it has a large readership who will appreciate articles about any old machine.
