Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: MMario Date: 03 May 99 - 03:43 PM Sam! I have a GREAT deal of faith in the MudCat and 'Catters,but "No matter what question you have a mudcatter somewhere will be able to answer it!! " is going a little too far, I think....*grin* On the other hand, ALMOST any question..... MMario |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: LEJ Date: 03 May 99 - 04:50 PM Great to hear about Mudcatters being able to answer any question, Sam. Here are a few... 1. What exactly IS the meaning of life? 2. What happened to Moby Dick after the book ended? 3. Is God Catholic? 4.Where do all my sunglasses go? 5.If you travelled to Mars at a speed faster than light would you be able to watch yourself arrive? Just wondering...LEJ |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: LEJ Date: 03 May 99 - 05:57 PM No, Bert. That's about it. Guess Sam was right! |

These people are really nice about helping new people find their way around, I know, I'm still pretty new to this and only once did someone make me feel like a fool and I should have known better. They all have wonderful songs and ideas they love to share! bet |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: MudGuard Date: 04 May 99 - 03:08 AM The answers: 1. 42 (see Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Universe). 2. Drowned! 3. God is an atheist! 4. There is a secret place where all the ballpens, keys, sunglasses ... go when you let them out of your reach for just one moment. 5. While speeding up to speed of light, your mass will increase infinitely, with it your own gravity force, so after some time Mars would land on you... Andreas |

Subject: RE: Question 4 From: Steve Parkes Date: 04 May 99 - 03:39 AM My daughter bought one of those see-through armchairs, and I'm starting to worry. You can see down the back where all the lost coins combs and what-nots go, and there's nothing there! There's a strange tension building up in the air, like just before a thunderstorm: I think the lost-coin fairy is holding her breath or something. Can anybody help before something busts? Steve |
|
Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Llanfair Date: 04 May 99 - 03:47 AM Andreas.......it is well known that ballpoint pens, keys and sunglasses all disappear to pupate, and emerge as beautiful coathangers. Without wanting to seem picky, it's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the best version was on BBC radio. Hwyl, Bron. |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: MudGuard Date: 04 May 99 - 03:52 AM Sorry about the Universe/Galaxy. It is some days (or years) since I last read it and I cited the title from memory (which fails every so often...) |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Tucker Date: 04 May 99 - 06:55 AM Welcome! I first started playing with computers at the local library last June. It was frustrating. They almost took my card away I was locking up so much. They were really slow machines too. Anyway when I found that I loved the things I finally got into the computer age. You're probably finding yourself sitting there at dawn wondering where the night went or soon will be. Mudcat Cafe was one of the first places I found although I have only recently became a pest here. Enjoy. It's a fun site. |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: MMario Date: 04 May 99 - 10:31 AM Pest? I don't think so, the 'Cat seems pretty pest-free to me. Certainly so, compared to some other places I visit. MMario |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Steve Parkes Date: 04 May 99 - 10:54 AM Good news! The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is alive and well. Steve |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: John Wood Date: 04 May 99 - 01:59 PM Hi Mudcatters. Thanks for all the feed back,specially to Shambles for the ``Blue Clicky Thing´´and Mudcat World (it took me ages to read all that.) Wow Mudcatters are unbeliveable! I wrote this thread hoping to get a few tips and contact with some of you. I got not only that, but also an explanation on the meaning of life!Is there nothing a Mudcatter doesn't know? Thanks again. John PS.Signing off.(I'm off to a session!) |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Margo Date: 04 May 99 - 02:05 PM I went back and re-read some of the HTML stuff thread, and I'm still not sure about it all. SO, I'm gonna try some stuff: Little Jack Horner sits in the corner Extracting cube roots to infinity, A task for all boys that will minimize noise, And maintain a more peaceful vicinity. The above, from "A Space Child's Mother Goose", is my attempt at putting in line breaks. I still have no idea how to do the blue clicky thing. Would someone help me with my clicky? Margarita |
|
Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Margo Date: 04 May 99 - 02:07 PM Cool! The line breaks worked! Except I see I needed one at the beginning of the poem. I had no idea it was as simple as typing " ". Now how about the blue clicky? Margarita |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: MMario Date: 04 May 99 - 02:19 PM higgledy-piggledy my black hen She lays eggs in the relative when She doesn't lay eggs in the positive now Because she's unable to posutlate how I'd tell you how to do the blue clicky thing, but I need a refresher myself in how to type the stuff so it is visible. MMario |
|
Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Tucker Date: 05 May 99 - 04:24 AM Margarita, put your arrow on anything highlighted in blue (or highlighted for that matter) and left click with your mouse. That's the blue clicky thingys. Enjoy |
|
Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 05 May 99 - 07:49 PM If you want to make a blue clicky thing you do this: < a href=URL>CLICK HERE Leave out the space before the first "a". The URL is the world-wide web address you wish to send people to (pardon my poor grammar). You can substitute anything for the "CLICK HERE". That will be the part that shows up in blue.

While we are on the subject of answering questions, here are a few truths for future reference:

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: McMusic Date: 06 May 99 - 02:26 AM Would like to add one question to LEJ's list: Is Ferlin Huskey? |

Subject: RE: New Kid On The Block From: Banjer Date: 06 May 99 - 06:45 AM John, re:your post of 4 MAY at 1:59. You ask is ther anything a Mudcatter doesn't know? Yes, there are many things each of us does not know. But as you see in the three posts between Margarita, Tucker, and Roger in Baltimore (RiB), we all help each other in the learning process. Incidently, Margarita, RiB is spot on with his "blue clikie thingie" explanation except for one thing. You must close with the /A in the greater than/less than symbols (shift comma, reverse backslash, letter A, shift period) I don't yet know how to put that stuff on screen and make it show up! Maybe RiB can 'splain that to me! So you see, John, the learning process and the willingness to help one another in our cyber community is always working! Welcome! |
