Did I miss the political propaganda ?! Darn not again ! -----Original Message----- From: Compact Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Rice Sent: 17 October 2004 14:49 To: Compact Macs Subject: Re: Proposal
I'm not very active on this list but as the owner of eight compacts, it's my opinion that peripherals that are compact compatible should be allowed. That goes with the spirit of most platform specific mailing lists. I'm active on the classiccomp list. We have a "10 Year Rule". Anything ten years old or older is on topic with the exception of generic Windows machines since Windows is now older than ten years. There is a "geek cool" exemption made for exceptional machines and platforms such as NeXT cubes and slabs (ten years old now), Sgi boxes (a lot of them are ten years old now) and so on. I'm not as concerned with OT computer related posts as with all of the offensive political sigs. This is a computer list. If you must try to spread your political propaganda, there are places where that is appropriate. Do we need a rigid set of rules as long as members use a little common sense and respect for other members.
