Am I the only one who can't read topic #32? Every time I try to load it Netscape completely crashes.

Ann, I am moving this to the HELP! topic, freezing this topic for a day or so, then it will be gone.
Did your trouble happen after you tried to link to FOF then come back? If so it may be part of the no-cache thing.

I must be in the twilight zone this morning. I had just put a pot of coffee on and
sat down to the computer and I saw words being typed in a response box
in this item. I realized that it was Amy! And I am still watching her navigate around and make posts (I'm in another window).
How is this happening? That' s because she left her NetMeeting on last night
and we're still sharing applications. I'm seeing *every keystroke* she makes on her computer and seeing every word she types letter at a time.
I tried to wrest the mouse from her to get her attention but she got freaked out.
She didn't know what was happening. Amy are you seeing this?
If you are it's your turn to type something now:
This should be Amy Right now Amy is "taking control" This is me. This is very wild. I have a feeling I am possessed when he is in control , and that I am omnipotent when I am. Gotta get a faster modem though. No bout a doubt it
There, Terry. Take it.
This is Terry: Amy if you think you felt wild. How do you think I felt a little while ago when I walked into my office to get started and I saw Netscape open and a Mail window open and there were things being typed on the screen. I was seeing every letter you typed.
Was I in the twilight zone, I wondered. Then I realized it was you and we were still connected via NetMeeting and I could see everything you were doing. I tried to wrestle the mouse away from you and that's when you started feeling possessed. You wee for a moment!
OK your turn (we're gonna post this ok so folks will believe me):
Yes. it is funny. I haven't laughed so loud , out loud, all my myself in many a day. If must have been even stranger for you.
Too much fun
you go
Or you want to just go ahead and submit the missage now. Sheesh!
This is Terry: I'm going to submit this then take your for a "ride" in Explorer. Are you ready? No, you submit it!
AB: ok. but hold the tour bus one secdon . I have to get more coffee for this

Amy went to get coffee and I'm going to get a cup too. Amy let me know when you get back. My coffee pot isn'f far away. By the way I don't think the help item crashed. I think it may have been your Explorer. But if it is our system, we can ask Dave about it in the yapp conference.
Amy's reply in NetMeeting:
I am back, still all astonishment. Tery, if you hear us use that word a lot it is becuase it is used by a character in P&P. Did you find the tape?
Terry's reply:
sorry didn't mean to grab the mouse away from you too soon.
I very kindly person on this board is loaning me a copy of the tape!
Are you ready to go on a web tour?
Amy:
up! Go.

Hmmm. Let take a look under the hood. Course, I never see a thing when I look there.

I tried going in there to see if it would crash on me - I who am the one that anything that is going to crash will crash on - and nothing happened - it displayed quite normally.

Try adding a response there Amy. If nothing else works, you can edit it
manually (carefully).
