Okay everyone, I would like to propose a new "b3ta talk forum that nobody knows about" record challenge.
Not this post, but the one above, I would like us to have the longest "blank post reply" ever.

This is kind of an extreme posting event, so those of you with weak hearts, or arthritis in the hands, should not participate.

Everyone must post a blank reply only, and all results will be monitored by Roy Castle for authenticity.

however...
I've got bored with it now, just roaming around, killing things, and i'ts also become too difficult. I still love playing it, and can't put it down, but only because i want to get to the end and see what happens, only it seems to be going on forever - does anyone know how many levels there are ? I've started using the cheats now - and far from ruining it it actually makes it more fun. - How much longer does it go on ???

Help me, geeks!
How can I get DOS games to run on WinXP?

I recently bought Day Of The Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit The Road (on one disc), but haven't managed to play them yet. The CD does not autorun, and when I open the .exe file, I see the C prompt for a second or two, but before I can type in the command that according to the instructions will start the game, the screen goes black and nothing happens until I do a ctrl alt del.

I've tried running it in compatibility mode for earlier versions of Windows, but that hasn't helped.

A friend told me I could create a dual boot with Win98 and WinXP, but only if I had 98 on the machine first. Which I don't. But I do have a Win98 installation disc.

The same friend told me something about virtual machines, or a running a computer within a computer. But I wouldn't know where to begin setting up one of those.

I tried opening up the C prompt and then telling it to open the .exe file on the disc, but none of the commands were valid and I don't know which ones are. Never had to use the thing before, really.

Can anyone help? Or should I just cut my losses and trade in the game?

but it's so early
i only got up as i thought someone had rung the bloody door bell. They hadn't. I dreamed it.
That's the 3rd time in about 4months I dreamed it. I don't know why.

edit.
Why am i even at my computer? I do this all the time now I work from home. Get up fall downstairs onto a chair infront of the computer. It's no good.
I need breakfast and tea.

It might be early but
I'm at work, I come one at 8:20ish every weekday morning looking for conversation but this place is too exclusive for the other chat monkeys to know about so I have to while away time with *shudder* reading a book. I'm sure others would be here if they knew.

A bedtime story
I vaguely remember reading this many years ago: The Little Prince.

It's very fluffy and has pictures - enjoy and good night.

You want to read
Plop. The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark.

Now that is a good book
( Hankster, Thu 9 Sep 2004, 8:17, archived)

saw that in a shop the other day
I'd forgotton all about it - it's a great book!
Kids books rock.

Mind you - the little Prince is good for adults too...

Aargh! My daughter had a cassette of the book,
which she had to listen to every single night, while I sat with her until she fell asleep.
I loved it at first, but after several months I had come to know and hate every word in it, and Maureen Lipman too.
When the tape finally broke, she moved on to The Railway Children ...

Less tab related confusion can only be a good thing
