Okay, Windblows users, right click on the clouds to the left &#40;when viewing &#34;Topics&#34;&#41;. Choose Set As <U>W</U>allpaper. Minimize all screens and right click on your wallpaper. Select p<U>r</U>operties, background tab, and set the <U>D</U>isplay to &#34;stretch.&#34; Cool huh? I haven&#39;t changed my wallpaper in YEARS. But this one was too good to pass up. &#91;grin&#93;

Not quite, fairy agent Pat :&#93; &#40;sorry, reference to an old story&#41;. <BR> <BR>That image to the left is only one strip. It&#39;s all you see there. It&#39;s not the entire front logo image just cut off by the frame.

Funghi, who said I wanted the logo? I just like the clouds. And I know it&#39;s just a strip - which is why I suggested folks &#34;stretch&#34; the image. Four vertical strips across my desktop looked stupid. As far as the logo, if folks want that, they can go to the main page and fetch it there. ;o&#41;

I&#39;m just saying, when it&#39;s stretched &#40;especially on a 1024 or higher res, which I know at least you, Sheri, and myself share in common&#41; it looks horrible.

Suit yourself. I like it. It reminds me of a fine veinacava pattern in smoky marble.

05-15-2001, 01:29 PM
hmm... maybe it&#39;s because of Netscape... the page loads in IE... :o&THORN; <BR> <BR>The Centropolis email service doesn&#39;t work right though. It fails to load &#34;normal.css&#34; and &#34;globals.js&#34;. The files seem to be missing. ?

Auric, dear Javascript mastermind...you of all people should know that if you outsource a JS file and it&#39;s not actually uploaded, the page won&#39;t finish loading. ;-&#41; Sure, I could &#42;make&#42; the page load by turning Javascript off, but then what features would I be missin out on? ;-&#41;

Do I detect some unfavorable attacks towards Netscape?!? That&#39;s it, everyone with MSIE will get Netscape 1.0 for Xmas this year -- which we all is better than MSIE 5.5 :oP <BR> <BR>-=JAG!

Darn tootin! ;-&#41; <BR> <BR>&#34;Those who <I>know</I>, use Netscape.&#34; <BR> <BR>If you want to invite viruses in, ga head and use IE. Not me! <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;">

The only virus problem with IE is the fact that people can set their own security levels, and most don&#39;t. So :&THORN;~~``&#39;&#39;&#34;&#34;pbt! <BR> <BR>Why don&#39;t you finish the statement, Sheri? <BR>&#34;Those who know, use Netscape as an example of what NOT to do&#34; :&#93;
Tina (Trina)
05-16-2001, 05:21 AM
hahaha <BR> <BR>Those who know, that IE would drive them crazy, use Netscape...

Dear Sheri! :oP <BR> <BR>The page has always loaded for me and my IE... don&#39;t blame me for Netscape... ;-P
Sheri Gordon (Sheri)
05-16-2001, 10:49 AM
Stefan....because IE is too stupid to realize there was an error. ;-&#41; I&#39;ll bet you didn&#39;t see the CSS. &#62;:-pPpPpPpP <BR> <BR>Fungie...IE having security settings. Sounds too complicated. How many users know how to change them? I bet less than 25%. I know that 120 out of 125 IE users on my EAG list don&#39;t know how. Oooh, IE schmart move, eh? ;-P &#40;And considering that most IE users are folk who took their computer right out of the box and used whatever &#34;Internet thing&#34; came with it.&#41; Good for the mass market? I hardly think so. Why do you think the use of Outlook Express and IE have been &#42;banned&#42; by many workplaces with LANs? Ask Lee sometime about how many times they&#39;ve had to deal with the effects of Outlook&#39;s use by the average non-computer-genius. ;-P <BR> <BR>Shall we turn this into a Netscape &#40;Mozilla&#41; vs IE war? &#42;giggle&#42;

Sheri, on the &#34;internet options&#34; setting, there&#39;s an entire tab dedicated to security! All people need to do is adjust a little slider thingy and viola! <BR> <BR>&#34;People who know &#40;what they&#39;re doing&#41; use IE&#34; <BR> <BR>:&#93; <BR> <BR>&#34;People who are gluttons for punishment use Netscape&#34; <BR> <BR>Besides, NS is owned by AOL, so it&#39;s just going further and further down the drain :&#93; At least IE keeps it&#39;s level of suckiness at a standard :&#93;
Sheri Gordon (Sheri)
05-16-2001, 12:05 PM
Yeah, but AOL still has their hands in the IE pie too. &#62;:-P <BR> <BR>As for folk who know what they&#39;re doing...HAH. That&#39;s a select few. ;-&#41; You keep using your little IE. Meanwhile, the rest of us deal with the dummies who use IE and come wailing &#34;HOW do I do this?&#34; or &#34;HOW COME this does this?&#34; or &#34;But I don&#39;t see where to click?&#34; or &#34;Oh, but this Pretty park is just SO cute!&#34; <BR> <BR>&#62;;-P

See, but it&#39;s us few who know what we&#39;re doing who answer all your &#34;how do I...&#34; questions! So HA! <BR> <BR>We is good for something afterall :&#93; <BR> <BR>&#40;you have to admit though, IE does have a better tag base, it supports so much more than NS, yet it&#39;s a smaller core download! THIBERT!!!&#41;

05-16-2001, 01:18 PM
Sher, real simple, just send all the folks who e-mail YOU with stupid IE questions to the experts for their answers. That work for you, oh Fungus-o-mungus? ;o&#41;
Sheri Gordon (Sheri)
05-16-2001, 03:22 PM
hehehe Prepare to be inundated by idiots. &#42;giggle&#42; &#40;I mean that in the most polite way, of course.&#41; <BR> <BR>Mozilla.org is actually setting a standard, that even IE will eventually be based on. So, I&#39;m keeping a close eye on it&#39;s developments. Netscape has always been derived from Mozilla. Blame AOL and it&#39;s stupidity for taking a rough draft of the latest Mozilla browser and releasing it as Netscape 6. &#42;shakes head&#42; Netscape 6 doesn&#39;t even deserve the name Netscape. ;-&#41; &#40;See what happen when AOL get&#39;s their fingers in things? Netscape 4.7 all the way, man! Down with AOhelL!&#41; <BR> <BR>Fungus....IE &#42;does&#42; have a big download. It&#39;s call W-I-N-D-O-W-S. ;-&#41; Won&#39;t run w/o it. hehehe &#40;While Netscape and and does run on Mac and Unix/Linux&#41; It&#39;s IE&#39;s uncanny knack for running stuff in Windows w/o askin ya that gets it into trouble all the time too. VBS anyone? ;-P Give me browser, but stay the heck out of my OS! heehee

...A while back I believe someone said &#40;Chris comes to mind&#41; that she tried to delete MSIE, and her Windows OS wouldn&#39;t work anymore. Krappy huh? <BR> <BR>If I remove Netscape, guess what? The OS still works. :oPpp Don&#39;t believe me? Try removing your MSIE. Ga&#39;head, I dare ya! <BR> <BR>-=JAG!

That&#39;s because your system is more than happy to ditch NS :&THORN; <BR> <BR>and Sheri, IE works on mac too, w/o Windows :&#93;

Microsoft Works.....what an oxymoron. &#62;:-P

Why should anybody wanna remove IE?? ;-P <BR> <BR>&#40;yes, it is a flamewar... <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> &#41;
Sheri Gordon (Sheri)

Better question, Auric....why would anyone wanna INSTALL it? &#62;:-P
Great Taste AND Less Filling! (F_U_N_G_U_S)
05-17-2001, 01:53 PM
Because they have no choice? &#62;;&THORN; <BR> <BR>but at least people can choose to install Netscrape. <BR> <BR>Man, what the heck are people smoking when they make that decision?!

Opera does kick butt. It&#39;s a small download, but doesn&#39;t support a lot of coding. Still, for it&#39;s efficiency, it&#39;s better than IE and NS &#40;especially NS :&THORN;

I like Opera, I went once and that big lady, she had a pretty voice!
