The sit files should be fine on windows. The archives with the messed up dos filenames will still work fine on the Mac too, you just need to get StuffIt to recognise them as actually being archives. As for losing quality...Crikey, what is this, the Bang & Olufsen sound lab? In the...

Does anyone know enough about HyperTalk to help me solve a fairly basic problem that's giving me grief? I need to make a countdown timer in a field, which is accurate to the second and doesn't lock up the system when it's running. In other words, no "wait" command. Any way to do this? I was...

If the SIT files look like Windows files on your Mac and won't open with Stuffit, you could try going to the PC Exchange control panel and changing files with extension .SIT to open with Stuffit. Otherwise, you don't have ResEdit on there, do you? Or you could always just hook up an audio...

Indeedle, but just because something reaches a certain level of consensus on wikipedia, that doesn’t make it true either – yet that seems to be a common belief. The idea that passing information past the critical eyes of a thousand internet editors will somehow iron out all the inaccuracies and...

Bloody oath... And even when you double and triple check things, there is no guarantee that the source you're verifying from hasn't got their information from wikipedia. It's poisoning the entire web. Wikipedia seems to be the no. 1 result for any query where there is an article on that...

What??! I do! I have hundreds of them!! Mostly from Elton John's lawyers! As for that other thing, isn't it on the *bleeep* server? Oh...Wait...That's probably down. SHUT UP!

This doesn't actually answer your question, but I assume if anyone truly feels the need to use footnotes in their posts, they're probably better posting on an online support group for anal retentiveness (wikipedia, for example).

He got locked in a club sandwich and was eaten. :( :(

You haven't noticed the aura of pessimism on this forum? I've noticed it ever since I started visiting this forum, 18 months ago. Anyone would think life as we know it was ending. :lol: It was begging to have the mick taken out of it. My own opinion for what it's worth (probably nothing)...

Great nickname :lol: Welcome !

I agree with the preceding comments. The situation is dire. Like moths to the flame we march towards our destruction. Oh the horror! Oh the ghastly black tormented horror! Oh the agony of it all! Oh sweet pain, my only consolation... Sweet, bitter, horrible, beautiful pain. Everything...

What the heck is an i-Opener? What a naff name. :lol: I'm imagining a bottle opener with a little computer on it.

I'm using it right now (under duress). Why?

Well, yeah, but you tended to have it thrust into your face a lot more on Hotline. Almost every second server had at least some porn content. At least on P2P sites you don't get it unless you search for it (except for on Limewire, which can bring up dirty results for just about any search).

Yeah, and some disgusting text-based "special interest" games. I remember one particularly sick and disturbing one called Psycho Killer.

I tended to stay away from it, given it had a reputation for being full of some very foul and probably not entirely legal pictures. I'm surprised people stopped using it, I mean people still use Usenet for crying out loud.

Yeah, well I was talking mainly about our neighbours in the "Line that is opposite of cold" thread nextdoor. I wish they'd turn their bloody music down. To paraphrase Basil Fawlty: "Don't mention the Hotline! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it!"

Whatever happened to Carracho? Does it even exist anymore? And why does everyone keep tip-toeing around the word "Hotline"? Is that like saying "Nig-Nog" in Brixton or something? [:P] ]'>

How many members are there in the proximity of Swindon? I'd have thought only a handful (assuming you have very big hands).
