Anybody Else Having this Problem?

[Otter]

This is a strange one. Everytime I open a post that Cannibal is on his blind referee plants himself over my "Refresh" button and doesn't go away until I close the post and minimize then maximize the window.

OH Man that's funny as fugk!!!


Sorry about that dude! I'll find a new sig if you want. I had no idea it would do that.

It sounds like some kind of "glitch".

[Cannibal]

And when you read my reply it's going to do it again.


I'll find a new one if you want [even though I have no idea why it's happening], just let me know.

[Otter]

Cannibal,

No big deal. I think its funny actually. I was just wondering if it was happening to anyone else.

I like the sig.

I'm at my work computer anyway. :D

[Cannibal]

Kewl...

[Otter]

Cannibal,

Just an FYI. I'm at home now and don't have that problem. Just at work.

Very strange.

What kind of computer do you have at work a "Commodor 64"?:D

[redhed]

NOt having that prob. 'Course, I'm using Netscape.

Love dat ref!!

[Rausch]

I own a Mac...


Immune to about 99.9% of viruses, easy to upgrade, and man the OS is suh-weeeet! :D

[Otter]

Cannibal,

Actually its a Commodor 128. If I hold down the Commodor button it starts up in 64 mode! :D

[Cannibal]

Oh ok!

I thought you were going to say it's a "Vic 20". :D

[Logical]

Otter,

If you use a right click on your mouse, a pulldown menu should appear that allows you to refresh (reload), try selecting that and see if it does not fix your problem.

Wow, you guys shore got Caddy-lack 'puters! I'm still usin' mah TI 99 4/A!

Wish I could git one a dem slick machines.

[Cannibal]

Texas Instruments foray into the personal computing arena. It had a cassette tape drive, and ROM cartridges for video games. You could upgrade to a 5" floppy drive. The first 'puter I ever had.

Here's a place that 'splains it a lil':
TI 99/4A (http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/ti99.html)



I had the speech emulator. Very fun with the games! Used to stay up all night playing this D&D type game....

Wow, did I hate that dang tape drive!! Sooooo slooooooow!!!

I'm sure I've still got it somewheres....

My first was an Apple IIc, to which I added an external 5.25 floppy drive. I believe 128k, about $1300. Upgraded to a Dell 4Mg 486sx, about $1500, numerous upgrades (4Mg more for $150). Two more PCs since then, all around $1000, numerous upgrades.

I've probably spent $7000 - $10,000 on computer stuff, and it is all worth about $500 today. sigh.

Thanks for the info redhead.
