The missing forum?
There's Future Hardware and Current Hardware. That leaves...Past Hardware. Not only does my current Mac fall in this category (600MHz iMac), but I bet a forum like this could be filled with romantic nostalgia about all our old Quadras, Performas, Color Classics, IIe's, etc. - especially since a lot of people still have their old machines running.

True enough. But a forum dedicated to nostalgia might encourage even more. Whether or not this is a good thing, though, I can't say. But for some reason I love reading about the classic machines. I'm 36, meaning I grew up with the original Macs in junior high school being the first 'real' computers (not counting Sinclair ZX/81s and Commodore 64s) I ever used.
Is the cube nostalgia? Is 9.2.2 nostalgia? What about the CRT iMac? Therein lies the conflict and question. \
Finally a place where I can talk about my memories of 5 1/2 inch floppys and backups.

I agree - a Nostalgia forum would be a wonderful idea.
