This is the offishul hello and stuff. I took the advice of all two of my fans and moved my little discussion group over here. :)

Yeah, it IS comfortable, like an old shoe. :)

I do apologize for the confusion, though. I didn't realize NBCi was so anal-retentive.

Yeah, this is easier to use.

Greenspun's right about one thing, Oracle is a better deal than most of the other garbage out there.

Anyhow, I expect we will all get along fine over here, and, of course, there is a plus!

Remember, we can archive this anytime we want!

I'm here as well. I DID sign up for the other one, but there were too many steps, and sometimes I just like to scan for a few minutes.

Even aside from the lack of HTML on the other forum, I didn't like not being able to see who initiated a thread and the thread posts going from bottom to top.

Peg, you can go to this forum HTML test forum and practice your HTML before you post anywhere else. If I'm not mistaken, they wipe that board clean every few days, so you don't have to worry about how much you're adding.

If you don't want to do that, another trick I use is to compose my post in the "little window", copy it over to Notepad, save it first as a text file, then as an HTML file, and open it in a browser window to see how it looks.

Of course, I don't always have the patience for either of these, but there ya go.

Hope this helps.

Uh, actually when I just checked the HTML test forum, I see two of my "practice" threads still there. But I guess it doesn't matter. It helps, anyway.

(Yeah, I know you want to know which ones -- Testing Tables and Testing again. You can see how well I did on the "tables" -- NOT.)

Thanks, Patricia.

I will bookmark. There was another one called HTML playground and I used to use that one. Just don't think of it sometimes.

And another thing...there are those times when the gremlins come out and no matter if ya did everything right..it comes out wrong...right? heh, heh!

Glad I looked in on the old Roost when I did! *Finally* I have a morning to myself...one (!!!) email! BLISS!

So I start checking my old haunts; and there's this cool linttle linky thingie; and yes it is quite comfortable to be typing here again. Except now I will have to get my old Greenspun template out from MSWord (Gods, is it in *this* computer, or my last one?) so I can make real italic changes and all like that.

Things are well; frightfully busy. Trace is well, the cat's brain is still the only documented hole in the space-time continuum, and computers break constantly on this island. Windows ME is a godsend for any of us in the industry because the sucker just BREAKS.

I am very sorry I wasn't aroud to post election stuff. However, everything that is happening in Florida does make me giggle. Democracy is wonderful in its' messiness; sorta like a helicopter. Everything in it is desperately trying to rip the thing to pieces, yet somehow the thing flies. The process and the system, to me, are the same way.

At any rate; I hope everything is well for everyone...I hope you saw the shots of my trip (still quite vivid in my memory, and hope you all have wonderfully filling Turkey Days.

Keep smiling, everyone! I will attempt to be around more!

Thank you.

I 'tried' to register at the other one, it ate my registration.

This one is much easier and familiar :-)

"...it ate my registration..."

Uh, Stephen, you think Bud followed you there? Do you think he could be far behind?!?!

('sumer: It's a bad joke from Stephen's board -- two boards ago. An Evil Giant Mainframe Named Bud used to eat the threads at Inside the Web. Which caused the board to be moved to the place where you tried to register -- NBCi. But if it ate your registration, I'm thinking Bud followed Stephen there. I hope he doesn't show up here.....)

(No, I'm not.....I'm completely sober right now. So there.)

Pat,

Now you've gone and done it...you wrote it down..now it's "Conjure City"...for any apparition.

Let the games begin....[g].
