Well! After Coastalnet so RUDELY disconnected me last night and wouldn't let me on, there's going to be some more HearMe fun tonight starting at 9:00 pm EST. I've got all this music I didn't get a chance you play last night! Weee! The link to HearMe is here!

Would that I could, but I can't. Still struggling, dealing with HearMe support. They tried to lay it off to my ISP, claiming that the ISP had to use PPP protocol--they do--or that I had a firewall or transparent caching--I don't--and so forth. I have kicked it back to them. We'll see what kind of excuse they come up with this time.

JAB suggested perhaps not enough memory or not enough hard disk space. Checked. I got 'em in spades.

As I mentioned before, I'm rolling on the floor, frothing at the mouth, in withdrawal symptoms!

Dave, I gotta ask - what changed since the last time you got into HearMe?

I DO know that last night, I had to download another update and it took forever to get the message saying I needed to download it. I also recently installed Zone Alarm, and had to agree to accept ActiveX controls.

So far I haven't had any trouble with Hearme except I can'nt figure out why when I sign on it always says "Status Connected" above my name. Does anyone know why it says that? Don't see it above any of the other names.

Hearme do seem to implement upgrades for reasons only known to themselves from time to time and these do appear to require installation of the latest plugin which should be automatic but may take a little time. Please note the following extracts from the Hearme FAQ page which I kepp asking people experiencing problems to read (particularly note the need to delete entries from the REGISTRY if uninstall and install is necessary and their own comments at the end regarding Netscape).

Why do I get a gray or white box while waiting for the plug-in to load? top

A gray or white box may appear during the first 60 seconds while the web page is loading. After loading, you should see a "Security Warning" window pop up, to which you want to click "yes." Beyond this point, the plug-in should work normally. If you continue to see this gray or white box, please try uninstalling and reinstalling as directed below for an Internet Explorer browser or Netscape browser.

Wish I could have been there, had a gig until 10:30 Cat time, then a major tornado/hail warning and had to move vehicles and instruments. As usual, nothing happened, except that all the kids (8) showed up to stay in my basement if anything did happen. Oh well, maybe next time. Oh, not all 8 are mine, just friends of my 2 who have no basements.
