Another one of Springeurs is Stacey, she lives in Denver too. What does a "surveyor" do in this context. And Welcome!

Did you get in touch with Stacey, Don?

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.

Can you get into the austen conference?

Welcome Cassia!

(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.

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.

does anybody have where you can watch jpg pictures. because I only can look at gif pictures. I can`t look at JPG pic`s. I`ve looked every where. Does anybody knows or has this sort of program. YODA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

Hello??

Hello, whatcha need?

Hello! iS THERE ANYBODY listening to me?

Fuck you!

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?

Can I get help with ICQ here

Anyone out there?

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

Hello, everyone, and greetings from western New York. I'm a college instructor of English, but I'm off duty while on the net. Hobbies include travel, reading, movie-going, and classical music, especially opera. Is someone reading this introduction? Email welcome at werner@www.spring.com. Craig

Welcome Craig, glad you're checking in.

Hello, Im still new with this stuff. Can u help me to obtain free picture viewer softwares eg. Lview,Jpeg etc. One more thing..I need to have MSIMN.EXE...mine was corrupted or missing...where can I get it? Thank You.

Err..sorry to bother u again Terry...my Internet Mail woulnt open up everytime I wanted to access my E mail, everytime I tried to open it...internal error message keep coming...i have scan my cpu but no error was listed on Explore...there are some bad sectors on my HD.....about 6 MB...how do I overcome this problem..? Thank You again. Please help.

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

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)

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!

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

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

Hi there! I lives in Sweden,and are interressted in a site about 'the Farm' in theese days! Know that I have been in here before,but I don`t know under what pseudonym,so....! I`m a member of the LYCAEUM! And there my 'Pseudonym' are

What's the LYCEUM? Curious. And welcome aboard!

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

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?

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.

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!

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 .

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.

Intriguing...which .dll's are needed to fully decode that last post?

Out at last....Go and check Web On Flight!! It's far from being perfect but it's already something... http://www.geocities.com/researchtriangle/lab/4841/ the file is 'wof10.zip'. bye!

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! =)

Hope your research goes well, and you stay around after your class...

I think we have all these things and fire away with your questions!

Hello Im new to computers and I am having a problem with Quicktime and was wondering if anyone could help me..

What kind of problem?

hi, i have been searching for 3 days for an answer to an eudora light problem I have, can you help me?

all my new letters are automatically "queued", and altho you can change it manually to "sendable", there is one letter that refuses to be changed! I am new to all of this and have tried to read about the settings, but can't find out this answer!

I am not new to computerers but i am new to interactivity and the world of the web. Hello out there

Howdy Daniel. What's going on?

From the hills of Sonoma county this is the newest telnetter. My name is Shey and I still don't really know what I'm doing.

I am a musician/songwriter with my own home analog studio. I am looking for tools that will allow me to record from my sterio out(4track) to the line in on my computer. I would also like to mix and manipulate the sound in the digital domain.

Welcome! You need to meet Bob, nagy@mail.utexas.edu. Drop him a line about your interests and mention me.

THIS SUCKS

I've just signed up! It is a pretty interesting idea?! It is similaring to my cybercourse structure.

Typo!

What is your cybercourse structure?

You have built up MD's character nicely Laura, it looks like a lead role to me. :-)

Huh? How did this get here? Sorry Terry!

Hey! Strayed off your path? You're welcome to, anytime... You know, we's old folks always says, there's more to life than drool... ;=} BTW, this side of the springs also builds characters up nicely...

Hey! Strayed off your path? You're welcome to, anytime... You know, we's old folks always says, there's more to life than drool... ;=} BTW, this side of the spring also builds characters up nicely...

...though you might get a hickup hickup hickup...

Shall refrain from introducing myself, but is there really more to life thank Drool? Not on weekends, there isn't. That is why I am telnetting and making comments where I have never been before.

"Boldly venture where no Marcia has ever gone before...!"

this is true, but I find good friends in these remote places. This is the best part of telnetting.

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.

"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!

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

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

*sigh* I understand...!

You're right Terry...everyone has gone on Hiatus and that island is gonna sink if they do not come back!!! Sorry no one answered that lady's question on Eudora lite. I have used Eudora for ages and am very familiar with it and love it.

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

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

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

I'm still here. My email's working. But it's no longer terry@spring.com it's terry@spring.net.

Thanks for theupdate on the email - I was wondering if that one still worked - rather, worked again! ('Twas incredible talking to you today - finally! I am so happy you succeeded.)

Welcome, Paul!

"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!!

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!

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

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!

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.

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??

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!

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.

(See?! Ask and ye shall receive!)

I joined up cause ther was a cool convo going on with Jane Austen/Pride and Prejudice/Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle, I am wondering how I can get there?

aoctavia, use this URL http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/drool/all/

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

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 Regds Beathoven

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

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)

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
