Welcome to the conference that serves and is linked to the Stroud Consummate Winsock Applications site. Forrest Stroud has reviewed close to 229 software tools and plug-ins that help connect you to resources and information on the Internet. How did you hear about us? What are your interests and areas of expertise? What kinds of conversation and information are you seeking in this conference? This is the topic to introduce yourself. Come join us and feel welcome to re-visit as often as you like, become a regular!

~terry Sun, Jul 28, 1996 (14:26) #1

I'm Paul Terry Walhus (terry@spring.com) and I created most of the topics in this conference. I am working on a project with NetRabbit to expand and extend the capability available in Stoud's site. We're building a "commerce engine" which will enable folks to purchase software that Forrest reviews on his site. And this conferencing system will be a way for folks to talk about the software that Forrest reviews and to get additional informaiton about the "consummate winsock apps". We're talking about applications that enable you to access and ulitize the Internet in this conference. This conference is one of many that we are building at http://www.spring.com to cover a wide range of topics (politics, culture, entertainment, etc.) and this conference is unique in that we are subdividing it into categories (eg. web servers, graphics tools, etc) to make it easier to get around. I frequent several online conferences on the Internet, my own Spring, the WELL, ECHO and others. The Spring, which I started, is Austin, Texas online watering hole for meeting good folks and talking about a wide range of subjects.

I just managed to get on for the first time a few days ago. I like the in depth review of apps although I don't always agree. I am interested in other things besids computer & would like to participate in conferences of various topics Clive

~terry Thu, Aug 15, 1996 (08:36) #3

You're in luck Clive, because we're creating several hundred other conferences on a wide range of topics. What kinds of conferences would you like to see, what are your favorite subjects?

I'm looking for information regarding anti virus scans.Is this the right place, or should I be at a FAQ site.I don't know much about computers, but I needed to get one for my business and since I been on the internet I have found many interesting and worth while sites,but I'm worried about picking up viruses.In a nutshell, I'm looking for help ,from a site that is reputable,that will have patients with a person who has had no computer experience ever.If this is not the site I should be at,would you be so kind as as to steer me in the right direction?Thanks a lot! ps,I'm using a HP Pavilion,w/ win95.

~terry Sun, Aug 18, 1996 (01:35) #5

You've come to the right place, at least we hope this place will evolve into the kind of place you're looking for. We're still kind of fresh out of the gate and we're aiming toward a "critical mass" where we have enough folks talking to each other where we can rely on this forum to solve the kind of problems you're talking about. There is a section on anti-virus programs, both a general discussion and discussion of specific programs. A good place to start your search for information: http://www.spring.com/apps/virus95.html

~Ammerlaan Wed, Aug 21, 1996 (07:44) #8

A great idea to start this list. What is the exact the meaning just a review or may I also ask questions about programs. I am looking for programs regarding server deamons for Windows 3.X. I will create a link from from my homepage to you.

~Ammerlaan Wed, Aug 21, 1996 (07:47) #9

I have questions I can make hot-links to a group i.e. apps is it also possible to make a hot-link to a apps i.e. serv-u.

~terry Wed, Aug 21, 1996 (09:24) #10

Sure you can. Just copy the url that you see in your browser location window. That's what Forrest does from the reviews on his site. And you can hotlink to the apps main menu with this address: http://www.spring.com/apps/win95.html And welcome aboard. We appreciate the link from your website. By the way, what is *your* website address?

~Zerses Tue, Aug 27, 1996 (00:02) #11

Wow! And I thought it couldn't get much better! So far, people don't seem to have found this little spot on the internet map, but they WILL!! I am currently a computer tech and tech freak. I read most magazines for about a year and then switch and find that the perspectives are not just different, but that the information can be "biased" or "slanted" to one application or another depending on whom you are reading. But changing magazines seems to keep the views as balanced as possible. Thanks for the opportunity to see what other people are saying and doing with the applications, since none of us can keep up with even a fraction of them...it's hard enough trying to keep abreast of the hardware changes needed to keep today's (and LOTS of yesterday's!) machines working and workable.

~ace Wed, Sep 4, 1996 (02:40) #12

I was hoping to find an application to run 32 bit Netscape w/ AOL as my server. Officially, AOL claims that it is not yet possible. An associate tells me there is and app to trick the aol system for 32 bit usage. Can you help me?

~Soter Sun, Sep 15, 1996 (13:01) #13

I'm new men. Send me a message or something

~Soter Sun, Sep 15, 1996 (13:03) #14

Hey somebody on the comutern. COuld you send me a message? PLEASE

~MAndre Mon, Sep 16, 1996 (22:55) #15

And it keeps getting better. Nice add guys, Ive been a stroud fan for awhile! I head up a tech service dept for a large reseller. Most of the time I only hear the bad of the products I sell. Nobody calls me when thier computers are working :) Nice to see an area on the net where people can share info on current software apps and hardware. Will be anxious to see this site grow! Thanx

~terry Tue, Sep 17, 1996 (10:31) #16

Yo soter. I'm sending you a message in delayed time. This isn't really a chat board although that's a feature that we're considering. Glad to have you onboard. And glad to see you here too Mike, what does your reseller resell? Hardware? Software? Or both? What are the hottest selling products you carry?

~CWSmith Sat, Sep 28, 1996 (02:16) #17

Wow! This is not what I expected. I just came over here to see if people agree or disagree with the ratings on CWSapps pages. I just changed to Win95 and needed an MPEG player. I got Vmpeg1.7 and compared it with ActiveMovie. How could he think that Vmpeg is better? No mention was even made of ActiveMovie. I put them side-by-side on my screen and compared them. ActiveMovie's sound, video, controls, and Information is MUCH better. Am I missing something? Am I comparing apples and oranges, or what? Thanks for letting me play on your screen, folks.

Looking for a Terminal app that will take the place of 95's Hyperterminal and also do telnet. Also would like to be able to set up macros. Kind looking for Win3.x terminal.exe that does telnet. Anyone know of something like this?

~terry Fri, Oct 18, 1996 (14:40) #28

I'd check out Hyperterminal's website for their more robust version. It's at http://www.hilgreave.com I believe.

Iphone by VocalTech is a great product but... I have a problem with their registration fees. I registered 2 copies of IPhone late last year at their $69 rate. The reg fees went down to $49 a month or so later. No problem with that, it happens. When they came out with the new version 4 the registration codes for the origonal IPhone wouldn't work. Vocal Tech wants another $20 per copy to register the new version. Is this fair? It had been way less than a year since I registered the origonal. I e-mailed Voca Tech regarding this and they didn't even have the courtesy to respond. This is why I don't register software anymore. You pay and are milked for more $ a few months later for the new improved version and more a few months later... What if Microsoft released a new version of Windows $89, and another 4 months laster and so on. They don't because the know users wouldn't put up with it. I detest having to pay to test someones software. We are saving them thousands of dollars by testing it for them. Why can't hey be a little more loyal to their users/testers. If anyone has had a simular expierence speak up... I'd like to hear about it, and I'm sure others would as well.

~Hakm Wed, Oct 30, 1996 (17:19) #31

wHY IS THE PROGRAM NOT READABLE?

~Sharley Thu, Nov 21, 1996 (21:31) #35

It looks like David Glenn and I have something in common. I am looking for an alternative terminal emulator that will do telnet 5250. Most of the emulators I have run across will only do the VT-type emulations. Currently using Rumba Office from WallData. It provides some fairly versatile connectivity, but on a large scale, it is expensive and does not have all the functionality we need.

~shannon Sat, Nov 23, 1996 (17:04) #36

By way of introduction. I recently began work on the tech support line of an ISP. I have a good background in electronics, UHF and VHF radio, digital and analog communication systems and multimedia. I am interested in reading the reviews and comments of others. I find that many gaps in my knowledge will get filled out quicker.

~terry Sun, Nov 24, 1996 (01:39) #37

Glad you're here. Check out our radio conference while you're at it.

~Kennebec Thu, Nov 28, 1996 (21:18) #38

Sometimes I feel like a real infant on the internet. But, what I lack in technical expertise I try to make up in creativity. Currently I am interested in creating a Home Page. What book or imformation can you pass along? I am interested specifically in creating animation on the page. Thanx

~Kennebec Thu, Nov 28, 1996 (21:21) #39

~terry Thu, Nov 28, 1996 (21:35) #40

Laura Lemay has some excellent books on html and covers animated gifs, although she doesn't like Microsofts gif animation program as well as I do.

~billboy Tue, Dec 3, 1996 (15:16) #41

Hi Terry--Now you're really stuck with me. Found you in your own lair. Looks like lots of great stuff here.This is the first conference I'm checking out. Any Mac type stuff anywhere at the Spring?

~terry Tue, Dec 3, 1996 (15:32) #42

Uh oh, I said goodnight Billboy one too many times on EM. Well, glad you stopped by. We need more Mac stuff here and I'll workk on getting some here, after all, this is a town that is 40% Macs from what I hear. That's about 60,000 Macs in Austin. What is the Mac site equivalent to Forrest Strouds site?

~billboy Tue, Dec 3, 1996 (18:40) #43

You're right Terry, you did. I generally just go to MacUser Software Central for shareware type stuff (http://www.zdnet.com/macuser/software/) because they seem to have most of what is out there and their reviews, though minimal, seem pretty on target). I think there might be some big Mac ftp archive at the University of Texas, now that I think about it. Truthfully, I have more software than I really know how to use competently at the moment and no money for the really hot stuff I'd like to buy and no ti e to do any of it cuz I've gotten so sucked into this conferencing stuff. Is this an addiction that will subside with time?

~terry Tue, Dec 3, 1996 (19:26) #44

Not good news billboy. There's not much hope of this addication subsiding with time. Well, at least it's a healthy addiction, one that will feed your mind. There are worse addictions (eg. Leon Lett). If you want to see "serious addiction" there's the "austen conference". These nice folks even have their own addiction topic. And better conferencing than barbecue and fried chicken, right?

~Profdav Fri, Dec 6, 1996 (11:24) #45

Terry, this is my first time on .Could you brief me on what all is involved?

~terry Fri, Dec 6, 1996 (12:11) #47

What would you like a briefing on? Take a look around. Join some conferences. Build a conference list of your own. What topics and subjects are of most interest to you?

~fantasy Tue, Dec 10, 1996 (08:50) #48

Why don't you answer me? Are you xenophobic or ruse or just ignorant???

~fantasy Tue, Dec 10, 1996 (08:51) #49

Not ruse - rude

~mudhen Tue, Dec 10, 1996 (23:13) #50

Hi, I just signed on, but as yet don't fully understand your mission.I'm interested in graphics programs and read about the Paint Pro and others. Currently I'm using Seattle Film works program and Softkeys Photofinish4 program, but am abit dissatisfied with both as they can erase your photos without warning, so Im looking for something better. Also, Id like to know how to transmit JPG's via E-Mail. Can I look foreward to any help here on these subjects? Thanks in advance.

~terry Wed, Dec 11, 1996 (07:45) #51

Check in to the TransSoft Mail Control topic and pose your question about jpegs there. You'll most likely get a good answer.

~tedchong Wed, Dec 11, 1996 (08:53) #52

Re: transmit jpeg files via e-mail simple. If you are using Win95/3.1/NT, just download Eudora Lite (free) from any of the winsock sites (eg www.tucows.com) and just attach your jpegs (or any binary files) files using uuencode method. If you are using unix shell account, use uuencode to encode the jpegs files and attach in emails make sure the receiver has uudecode facility

~DerRogue Thu, Dec 19, 1996 (01:40) #53

I'm the newest "geezer" in the forum. (Remember, Old geezer is redundant!) I'm here because I got tired of dealing with E-Mail directly through my IPS, who have been after me for two months to use Eudora or Pegasus. (Pegasus seemed to be the first choice of most, so that's what I'm starting to work with.) Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

~terry Thu, Dec 19, 1996 (07:39) #54

Check out many reviews here on email programs. There is a general topic on email and specific topics on Eudora, Pegasus, TransSoft Mail Control (which is a very promosing app), and others.

I agree. But I'll detail my thoughts on Communicator and Netscape 4.0 in a brand new topic I'm opening today just for this subject. Follow me there if you like.

~terry Sun, Dec 29, 1996 (17:20) #64

Take a look at all of Forrest's reviews and ratings. And check out the newcome, TransSoft Mail Control.

~tombo Sat, Jan 11, 1997 (14:07) #65

Any ideas on what criteria Forrest uses for adding apps to his list? I submitted NetSketch, the worlds first shareware illustration app months ago. It's a Top Pick at http://www.download.com blah, blah, blah... Yet, no luck, here. Anyone tried NetSketch? It's at http://www.vegasfx.com Tell Forrest!!!

~terry Sat, Jan 11, 1997 (14:08) #66

You can email Forrest from his website. I'll mention it to him in my next email or discussion with him.

~Medb Mon, Jan 13, 1997 (11:31) #67

I am an independent IPP and am always interested in the most economic and functional software for WWW development and connectivity. I try to supply my clients (mostly small businesses) with a cost effective way to obtain a workable internet presence. I am of the opinion that shareware applications are the best and most reliable way of doing this. My business is built around a shareware environment and I have obtained nearly all of my applications from CWAS. I would like to know how many others are doing s and what applications they have chosen. I am always in the process of streamlining my environment.

Just found the Stroud site last week and downloaded NetTerm, Anzio Lite and CRT. We have applications for different users that require either VT100, Wyse 50 or Wyse 60 emulation. Anzio allows us to use Wyse 50 & 60 emulations but I couldn't get the correct keymapping for our specific VT100 needs. So I am using CRT and Anzio Lite. I prefer CRT, it is a very clean product and user-friendly. Is there any chance that the Vandyke company will be including Wyse 50/60 emulations into their software soon. W would like to purchase a single terminal emulation program as it will be much easier to service one piece of software. Also, when I registered I dropped a character off my name. Do I have to reregister or can I get it edited? Donna

~blackbird Tue, Apr 15, 1997 (00:46) #90

o.k. I have no idea whereinth'ether Iam, but hello anyways. Most of the conversation here seems to be of a technical nature. I'm a new pc owner, just browsing, not looking for anything in particular, just whatever comes along. Just got my system back up after the clowns at Gateway tech support spent 8 hours yesterday trying to help me recover from some stupidity on my part. So, I have this new pc right? So, I install First Aid 97 on it to make sure I don't catch any diseases from playing with all those other pc-s. Well First Aid starts to give me general protection fault messages and I panic and start to monkey with files I oughn't. By the time I get to the cybermedia website and find out that First Aid 97 has some sort of problem with Windows 95b and Internet Explorer or WinWord, well the rest of my system is all screwed up. So I get to spend the next 8 hours talking to Gateway tech sup't from Houston to Oklahoma to North Dakota in accents from cowboy to Indian to Harlem. What a joy. Oh well, think I'll go to Disney World. DP

~terry Tue, Apr 15, 1997 (23:27) #91

Welcome Blackbird. We have lots of conferences here beside this apps conference that are nontechnical in nature, books, movies, tv, unix, the internet, the web, these are just a few of the other conference areas.

~Alyssa Sat, Apr 19, 1997 (23:13) #92

Hi All, I'm a newbe on the net and got connected with Stroud's site. Good info compliments of a tip from my ISP. Browsing several of the conference areas. Lots of topics!! Terry, thanks for providing a good place to conference with others of like minds with their toys!! Anne

~terry Sun, Apr 20, 1997 (14:09) #93

Thanks Anne, what topics would interest you most? What conferences? Is there anything we can add that would interest you?

Welcome Valerie! Good luck with your web page at http://www.spring.com/~valerie

~daveman Sun, May 18, 1997 (23:22) #96

How does Mr. Stroud go about selecting which programs to review? The programs that he has are rated and reviewed (although there is a lot that I disagree with), but he has fewer programs than most sites that I've seen. Therefore, I'm assuming that he is more selective, but I don't know what the criteria is. David Ancell

~terry Sun, May 18, 1997 (23:30) #97

Good question for Forrest. I know he's up till all hours of the night crusing the net for new stuff. I've suggested a few things that he has reviewed. Do you have any specific programs that you would like to see reviewed?

Did you get in touch with Stacey, Don?

~Cassia Mon, Jun 16, 1997 (18:31) #103

Hello, one and all. I just decided to check you out while I wait for all of my Rufus Sewell pages to print (very old printer) and I can't seem to get on to Pemberley.com ( yea, I am one of them!) Too bad I din't find yopu guys during the Middlemarch discussions; it's one of my favourite novels and I love Rufus Sewell. (It all began when I saw him in Arcadia and I nearly died from hormonal overdose. Sigh!!! Let's see, I know nearly nothing about Internet and anything else computer based because I've been avoiding them outside of work (at home I have a word processor, on purpose) because during my undergrad days I was a Bitnet junkie and looked much like a vampire (dead pallour, fear of the sun). So I now post from the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh which closes at 9:00 insuring I will have a regular life even if I don't want to.

~terry Mon, Jun 16, 1997 (19:57) #104

Can you get into the austen conference?

~ginger Sun, Jun 22, 1997 (14:53) #105

Welcome Cassia!

~frisco Wed, Jun 25, 1997 (14:36) #106

(terry)I just found out about this place today while I was putting my last posts the commons. So is this where all those folks at EMinds will wind up? I will be back after I explore this place.

~terry Wed, Jun 25, 1997 (15:06) #107

They could. It's way up in the air now. Check in to the minds conference for more details or check out http://www.minds.org which is the Spring's refugee camp for Electric Minds.

~yoda Wed, Jul 2, 1997 (08:20) #108

Lview. The old tried and true. Forrest did a great review of this product.

~stacey Mon, Sep 22, 1997 (13:02) #110

hey out there, i've been denied permission to post once or twice, what's up?

~terry Mon, Sep 22, 1997 (21:47) #111

Where were you denied? We'll make sure you won't be denied Stacey Leigh!

~stacey Tue, Sep 23, 1997 (10:59) #112

Let's see, was it food? Was I denied access to food? How could you be so cruel?

~terry Wed, Sep 24, 1997 (07:08) #113

That's going too far, I can't imagine why you would be denied access to food? I'll check in to it.

I am looking for an application to keep my schedule on the computer, freeware only. I thought stroud.com might have one but no. Any ideas? - Cathy

~terry Fri, Oct 24, 1997 (11:52) #115

Well Netscape has a calendar program that you can run off of a website. Exactly what type of computer setup do you have?

~KitchenManager Thu, Nov 13, 1997 (03:30) #116

Hey, I need a timer to put on some programs, specifically AOL, so that a guest at my house can only use it during certain hours. Anybody got a program, or script, batch file, etcetera, that ya can tell me about?

Hi All, I'm new to this issue, but would like to comment on NetAttache Pro. I purchased the S/W and have had great difficulty in ferreting through what I believe to be a very obtuse set of instructions. There is no stepwise guide, not even in the tutorial which, I believe, skips a number of steps. For ex. How do you retrieve a brief after having created, saved, and then moved on to another brief? Every time I go to file open I get the message "file already opened...." If so where is it?

~russt Tue, Jan 13, 1998 (13:20) #122

Can I get help with ICQ here

~russt Tue, Jan 13, 1998 (13:32) #123

Anyone out there?

~terry Tue, Jan 13, 1998 (22:21) #124

What kind of help do you need? Have you been to the http://www.mirabilis.com website? Details?

~werner Sun, Jan 18, 1998 (10:57) #125

Thank You again. Please help.

~terry Wed, Jan 21, 1998 (21:24) #129

I would do a re-install. And as for the missing Windows file, do you have any friends with Windows or the orginal CD?

~Fermi Thu, Jan 22, 1998 (15:49) #130

Does anyone have experience with First Aid 95 Deluxe, and if so, how would you rate it for effectiveness and ease of installation/use? Is the newer version worth nearly doubling the price (First Aid 98)

~AllisonM Sat, Jan 24, 1998 (09:56) #131

Haveyou ever seen the photograph of Livia and Colin bringing home a vacuum cleaner? It used to be on the FoF pages (I don't think it still there). CF looked identical to the scene in FP where Paul and Sarah are carrying there shopping. That predated FP, so I am inclined to believe that the leather jacket, at least was his. That might be why it looked well worn in. Though I am in total agreement with you about not believing every word you read in interviews!

~mnpMike Fri, Feb 6, 1998 (22:47) #132

Hi, I am looking for other users of TextPad . I would like to configure it for use with the Sun Java Development Kit (JDK). Does anyone discuss this type of thing around here? BTW, this is my first time here, so any general pointers on where to start would also be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

~terry Sat, Feb 7, 1998 (05:44) #133

There's a textpad topic in the apps conference. I've used textpad and it's a real decent html editor. Especially for folks with a little bit of familiarity with UNIX commands. http://www.spring.com/yapp-bin/public/read/apps/335

~AllisonM Fri, Feb 20, 1998 (13:35) #136

There is a photograph in today's Evening Standard magazine of CF and Livia at the London premiere of "As Good As It Gets". He looks cute and happy! She looks happy - so she ought.

My name is Gianandrea Terzi (jonny@galactica.it), I'm a developer/designer but by now internet apps are still my hobby. I'm currently developing an auto-seek utility that could be able to download all of a site and let you browse it off-line. (as I say it's an hooby). What i'm askin (please), is if someone knows of some of the tricks of the MSINET.OCX control. I'm experiencing a lot of problems installing my application on some old W95 or WNT with wich it's supposed to work fine. I hope this is the right place for asking help ! Thanks As sonn as the pages are ready, you'll be able to download the app at: Http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/4841

~terry Fri, Mar 13, 1998 (14:02) #138

That's awesome, Gianandrea. We hope you get to be a regular here and we can give you some feedback on how this works. Have you talked to Forrest Stroud, our boy in College Station, about this?

~DALE Fri, Mar 13, 1998 (15:28) #139

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO SET THE LINE WRAP FOR INCOMING MAIL! I HAVE A NETWORK AND PEGUSAS MAIL IS OUR MAIL SYSTEM BUT THERE ARE OTHER USERS IN OUR SYSTEM THAT USE GROUPWISE, WHEN THEY SEND OUTGOING MAIL THE LINE WRAP EXTENDS PAST THE SCEEEN SIZE AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE.

~Vicious Mon, Mar 16, 1998 (06:19) #140

Thanks! I'm going to send him an E-mail. Anyway, if could help someone else, i've found the solution to (some) of the problems : Installing Microsoft's Visual Studio Service Pack 3 helps to get rid of error messages such as 'No answer from site" or "request time out". DO NOT INSTALL Microsoft's Visual Studio Service Pack 2 (Some of the controls will soon expire!) But my proggy still won't work on some (very) old W95. Bye!

~Tah Wed, Mar 18, 1998 (19:36) #141

I'm new at this too, just to tell you how new...i didn't even know i was signing up for this site, i thought i was on my way to finding out how to download "World Chat" the virtual chat..I had it a year ago, but heard it costs now, trying to find out some info., can you tell me where to go? Anyone else that likes to chat..check it out...it's great!! But since i'm here i'd like to add that this is a fantastic idea, now i have somewhere to go with computer problems. I'm sure you'll hear from me again...than .

~winter Thu, Mar 19, 1998 (23:39) #142

welcome salla! welcome darcy! hope to have you come here often. have either of you seen "photogrpahing fairies'? it hasn't been released in the States (don't know if it ever will be), and I'm dying to know about his performance. BTW, I finally DID see the camomile lawn, and ... my, my.... toby certainly was a bit 'chunky' back then! but of course, gives us something to grab onto, doesn't it?! lucky jennifer ehle... I wonder what was the cause of that break-up.

Hi everyone!! I am new to this virtual community. I go to the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa and I am taking a American Values class and everyone is to research a virtual community. I stumbled upon the Spring and I am enjoying the topics and the people so far. I am interested in movies, any kind of music, photography, the outdoors, cooking, TV, anything. I look forward to talking with everyone. Any information on this website for my class would be helpful or direct me in the direction, or I c uld ask a specific person the questions, whatever. Thanks for letting me visit and I will be back! =)

~KitchenManager Wed, Apr 1, 1998 (16:42) #146

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (20:37) #169

I can't understand why this conference is so quiet with all the links on Forrest Strouds million hits a day site! This conference should get much more traffic. Maybe Forrests links are buried too deep. Back to watching Sex in the City.

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (20:59) #170

"Back to watching Sex in the City." Lucky you!!! Could it be that when there is a problem they go to other topics such as porch's New User Helpline or one of the Ask the Experts topics? Apps is full of goodies I use regularly and would be happy to assist with learning about for a new user. Other than that...I cannot figure why you do not get more traffic...because I get email about stuff like this!

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (21:00) #171

...oh...I thought you were having Sex in the City...sorry!

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (22:57) #172

No, just watching. But I should be having while watching. Back to apps in the city.

Is Terry still there? I just tried emailing and couldn't get through to 'terry'. Anyway, if anyone reads this, my name's Paul and I'm new to all this. I came across this site in my search for info on VRML. I currently study web page design and one of my assignments is to present on a web topic, and I ended up with VRML (not by choice). Bloody hard to find any recent information on it and I can't find anything on the net about VRML post-1997. Is it still around or has it been superseeded by some other application? If anyone can tell me anything about this topic I'd be most appreciative as I'm stumped at the moment and have no idea how I'm going to fill a 45 minute presentation on a topic I have no idea about and can't get any information on (nothing recent anyway). Thanks in advance for your help. And my email address is paul_brewin@hotmail.com Paul

~MarciaH Thu, Mar 23, 2000 (12:53) #176

You're in the right place, but I am not the right person to answer your quesions. Help is nearby, though. Welcome!

~MarciaH Thu, Mar 23, 2000 (12:56) #177

Yup, Paul, Terry is around - and he reads if he does not answer right away. Others do too... hang in there. Aloha

Welcome, Paul!

~MarciaH Thu, Apr 20, 2000 (14:48) #181

"Virus" Warning... If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will program your phone auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's number. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretations of key sentences. If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk. WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!!

~sprin5 Fri, Apr 21, 2000 (00:08) #182

Hey, I live near the University of Texas, will it cripple all their computers and cause the Texas Tower to collapse?

Prob'ly...keep us posted!

~MarciaH Fri, Apr 21, 2000 (19:49) #184

Then we can post it in "Stupid things in the News" Just don't get in the way. We could not do without you!

Hi, I just discovered this place through RoP. I loved the stories over there and saw the link to this one. I enjoy your stories as well. :) I doubt I'll be able to write my own but I love reading yours. Thanks

~MarciaH Fri, May 19, 2000 (12:54) #186

Which Application are you planning to use - or are you just introducing yourself to the entire Spring then heading for the Drool conference? Welcome, in any case, and aloha!

~MarciaH Fri, May 19, 2000 (13:00) #187

Sarah, don't be a stranger - I am delighted you enjoy the stuff we post which is Non Firthian. Feel free to wander around - there is a staggering array of topics and conferences, and I try to get to all of them one way or another.

~pterson Sun, May 28, 2000 (15:55) #188

Hi, I'm a virgin to chat. This is my first time ever posting any kind of a message on the net. What I was really looking for were discussion groups dealing with xDSL and Cable. Does anyone have any info??

~MarciaH Sun, May 28, 2000 (16:15) #189

Aloha Tom...it is good to see you posting. There are several conferences which might deal with it and you sort of have to hunt through their topic lists to see which ones deal with your question, and if all else fails, I can create a topic for you to hold forth upon. First, though, try Internet, and Web Conference Or just post it in one of those conference's Q&A topics. Terry does know about this stuff...otherwise, be patient till he telnets in and finds your comment and responds to it!

~sprin5 Sun, May 28, 2000 (16:16) #190

Sure, what do you need to know about xDSL and Cable Tom? I've got cable and I just ordered DSL. They both work fine. Cable is fast and cheap but not good if you're running servers. DSL is better for serving up content, which I do.

~MarciaH Sun, May 28, 2000 (16:18) #191

Hey, I have ben here 4 a few minutes and I wonder if this is a safe place to be in the dark? I am the info addict and am a bit clueless to many things mentioned here. Want you all to recall that there is a war goin on 30 years now and if it is unwinnable, those who care should send out some post cards on Feb 15, 2000. My attempt at homepages sites are w.geocities.com/nawdy_seester/index.html or www.geocities.com/nawdy_seester/TREASON.html and I will be improving them. I am a BSN RN (licensed but not insti employed). Have a happy. See ya in November

~MarciaH Mon, Sep 25, 2000 (00:10) #196

Try the cultures conference. Lots about violence and war in there...and the despair it causes. I deal with war in the elemental state in Geo. Volcanoes, floods, earthqaukes and other violence of nature. Porch conference takes all discussions in various venting places. Welcome and aloha. Make yourself comfortable!

Hello , I'm a new member for this forum ,just signed in. I'm looking for the information about how to set up the web phone services, & what are the instuments I need to have? , I just need a basic idea. Thx

~sprin5 Tue, Jan 16, 2001 (09:28) #199

Well beathoven, you need a sound card with a good microphone and set of speakers or preferable a headset/microphone. Which web phone service are you going to use, I recommend you visit the http://www.dialpad.com site as this seems to be the best of the lot. Will you keep us posted of your progress? (sending email reminder to beathoven hertz)

~beathoven Tue, Jan 16, 2001 (10:02) #200

Thx for u'r quick response spring5, I really appreciate it. But I'm already a heavy user of all these web phones like dialpad.com,delta3,net2phone,hottelephone.com...whatever it is. I think I haven't properly presented my question. Say If I want 2 start my own web phone company(eg: like dialpad.com) where can I get more informations, technical aspects & ppl who do consultancies for these kinda starting up a own web phone company.....I would much appreciate if someone post me basic idea & information about these things(have got Idea 2 start one in my home country!!) Thx

~sprin5 Tue, Jan 16, 2001 (10:21) #201

Now that's going to take a bit more research. What have you found in this regard so far by searching the web for phrases like web phone server etc?

~beathoven Tue, Jan 16, 2001 (10:58) #202

Yeap... I did some search on webphones, but all I find is webphone companies offering software & improvements etc,etc,etc...& one of the search hit , I found u'r web sites with forums ..so I thought lets ask ppl who knows about these....thats why I'm here....anyway I'll keep on trying thro search engines. If u come accross any websites regs these pls let me know Thanks very much.

~terry Tue, Jan 16, 2001 (13:47) #203

Keep checking back Beathoven, as I'll be on the look out for this topic and I'll post anything I find. Meanwhile, we have lots of other conferences and topics, what are your other interests besides web phones?

We wuz' hacked, cracked and abused. Big time. This time it was malicious and it took a major reconstruction effort. I went about 24 hours without sleep at one stretch. But now we're back and we're even stronger in the way we've rebuilt the system and I'm doing multiple redundant backups. I had to buy another server a couple of days ago and a cost of about $1400 but it's a place where we can mirror our main system and get back on line quicly if we need to do so. But it cost a lot, and I may have to stretch our pledge drive a bit more to help make up for some of these costs. I want to make sure folks are getting the most they can get from this place and that we're giving them everything they want. And to do this, security and backups are going to play a key role from now on.

Hello everyone. My name is Nate reno and I am a homosexual. I really hope that doesn't bother anyone. But if there happen to be any attractive men in this chat that would like to get some, e-mail me!

~catz849 Wed, Oct 16, 2002 (22:16) #226

EW! Thats really gross. sorry everyone, but im a homophobic and i cant really help it. its just real strange to be around a guy who likes men along with you. Then again, it could have its advantages...hey nate, e-amil me. (-:

~catz849 Thu, Oct 17, 2002 (08:40) #227

hmmmm... this thread seems to have died a sudden death? OK folks. I'm back and I'm chatty. Surely there have been new folks join up since 2002? And since everybody has apps (from the last visable post, let me be clear. APPS not abs)lets discuss them. There's probably lots of new stuff out there that isn't currently covered. Maybe we can even get our favorite grand poobah, Terry, to update or add app names. Come on folks... let's get the party started!

~terry Mon, Oct 11, 2004 (06:56) #231

Sure, there are lot's of new apps, and some of the apps here have gone by the by. Forrest Stroud is still reviewing apps. For example, these apps could be new topics: Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird: Microsoft Alternatives Come of Age - 9/15/2004 If you're looking to explore the internet without being tied to Internet Explorer or if you yearn for a new "Outlook" on e-mail, Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, respectively, serve as solid alternatives with some intriguing extras. And the price is right � both are available for free. Zoom Player: A Player for Every Type of Media File? - 9/8/2004 Can you play multimedia files on your computer? Of course you can, but which of the multitude of file formats can you actually use? Zoom Player from Inmatrix claims to support the widest variety of multimedia formats, including the most recent formats, while also giving you ultimate control over your viewing and listening environment.

That's my man, Terry! Jump in here wit me! We can get jiggy with new apps... I think I'm going to download a couple of browsers so I can test my site with them. My only concern is incompatibility. Most of my apps are MS and I know how 'twitchy' MS apps get in the presence of competitors. Any issues I should know before I begin? OR: Would some of you Springers pop into my site with your diverse bunch-o-browsers and report results back via my guestbook? If you do that, you don't have to leave your 'real' name. Tell me what browser you used and sign with your Spring handle. I'm new to this web design stuff and would appreciate all helpful hints. Visit me at http://www.spazzdog.com

~terry Tue, Oct 12, 2004 (13:14) #233

I haven't had any problems running Mozilla on the same system with IE. So it should be ok. I've got Mozilla Firefox on the system I'm using right now.

~zx6rider Tue, Oct 12, 2004 (19:55) #234

thanks terry!

Hello. I've joined here as I've noted that a whole lot of people have visited my blog from an address under spring.net. I'm curious as to why, but cannot read the pages as these are restricted. My blog is acediscovery.blogspot.com and the post refers to Lamb's Conduit Street in London. Any info gratefully received. Thanks. Adrian

It was merely to read about your petition to bar Starbucks. A news item that caught our eye. That's all.

~Giaciofano Fri, Aug 10, 2007 (18:15) #238

I was reading the "Computing" magazine and came across this article about web2.0 and i decided to take a look. As i am a network administrator, every bit of information come useful.

~cfadm Thu, Aug 30, 2007 (16:53) #239

Great. I'm very interested in web 2.0 apps and designed one myself. http://web2.0slides.com/
