Erik: Similar indeed. Your site is impressive no doubt. My aim is more at systems before "home" computers as we know them. I'm not into a large busy site, more of a quiet niche site for "real oldies", ie... IBM, UNIVAC, VAX mainframes etc., with an occasional Altair, Imsai, early TRS-80, or maybe even a Comodore PET thrown in for good measure.

You've applied some nice mods to the base PHPBB package. Please check out www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum if you get a chance. It seems like we've had similar ideas.

Now, here's my chance, take a look at www.ccompforum.com and tell me what you think. Its free, belongs to me, and is offered as an addition to the resources of this group, for this group. For you test-based folks, it has full email->forum and forum->email capabilities. Thanks for looking Terry Freeman terryf(a)cox.net terryf(a)intersurf.com

William: This forum will be what you guys make it. My primary reason behind it is an attempt to fill a void I see popping up now and again in the classiccmp lists... Where can you find a common place to meet, swap, bargain, share files, docs, etc. for "real" computers without being asked how move the taskbar in windoze. It is my hope that this site will become that, I'm shooting for the little neighborhood bar full of regulars, not the nightclub with big bands. I like blinkin lites too :-) Terry CCompForum.com -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of William Donzelli Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 10:01 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Cc: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts; ClassicCmp(a)vintage-computer.com Subject: RE: (no subject) Altair, Both are nice, frankly. To be honest, I have always wanted a forum (or whatever) that is almost pure big stuff. 200 pound minimum, and at least 20 years old. No Imsai, no CBM, no TRS-80, no Apple - we can get all of those right here. To add to that, no linux, no Windows, no MS-DOS, and so forth... William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org
