Define really old... OK... In my data processing class in Syracuse, Ny
Central Tech days [Adult Night School] they used to have these old
computers that one computer was about as big as 3 outdoor soda vending
machines side by side. But they only used 8 - 10 inch real 2 real tapes.
and you entered your computer computations by way of the keypunch machine
and you goot your resilts printed out on the printer machine that was so
big it looks like a YUGO CAR [Nothing you would have wanted on a table]
and god help you if you ever dropped all your key punched cards that you
just created a program on... Then you had better learn how to WIRE
the collator maching to get things back to what you had it before.

NOW.... Did i describe Really Old?
This was back in 1970 and i have worked with those old Dino's...

Of course i know it was Reel-to-Reel phrase back then... But the newer

Ok.. good question. Lets take you back a little in time to BASIC PROGRAMMING.

10 PRINT "I would Love To Put Just In Through So Much SURVIVOR HELL On The..."
20 PRINT "Newsgroups that by the time that game ends... He will want to..."
30 PRINT "say I Love You JFK2."
1000 Go to 10

Ok... simple basic program there with an endless loop thrown in there
thrown in for good measure... you have that on your screen long enough
and you will HATE ME & JUST IN

now for the cards...

Each card was 80 characters long

So...

1 PRINT I would Love To Put Just In Through So Much SURVIVOR HELL On The...
2 PRINT Newsgroups that by the time that game ends... He will want to...
3 PRINT say I Love You JFK2.

the keypunch machine would read what you just typed...
The computer didn't
On each card was a series of HOLES... and for the #1 the hole in that colum
would be punched out to look like that florida vote mess of CHAFING
Putting a hole through a card. Yes... back then you had that same problem
but since the hole was made by a machine & NOT by a human... That was almost
never an issue.
But each chard had 80 characters on the top of the card & that meant
80 columns on the card each complete with the # & Alphabet. But CASE made no
difference back then. There was no CAPS vs small letters.
IT WAS ALWAYS READING LIKE THIS. BUT YOU HAD TO GET USED TO THINGS THIS WAY
So in column 32 you had the hole punched out for J
column 33 the hile punched out for U, column 34 the hole punched out for S,
column 35 the hole punched out for T, column 36 there would be no holes
punched out [means a space], column 37 the hole would be punched out for I,
and in column 38 the hole would be punched out for N
Colum 1 had the hole punched for 1

so in a way it was like basic programming... BUT with a punch card.

Maybe Jbell should
1 - MOVE into the Time Warner Service Areas
2 - Hook up to the Time Warner CABLE Services
3 - Run as many servers as his computer will hold.

I'm on the Time Warner Road Runner Cable and they allow for 250k
downloads & 50k uploads on as many servers your computer
can possibly hold.
I run the AW Worlds server and when i want to make sure i get files...
IO pop up my NewsPro siftware and start pulling in apx
25different newsgroups feeds in one go [I'm one of those people that
when i want an MP3 tune... I'll get all the parts with no problems]
And that is a newsgroups server the isp's use.
And i also run on a temp basis [for friends to access my On-Line-Gaming
stuff] the Telnet server as well.

I have a friend that runs his FTP server for many people [friends]
mostly and is another source for MP3's [He's has over 200gig's on line]

But Time warnet Road Runner is very nice reguarding servers. You can have
any type of server that you want as long as your computer can handle it.

Well... I don't use Napster for the same reason that namy people
dropped one too many times. I use the Gruntella network file shareing
sites. [same thing as Napster...] But they haven't been in the copyright
news yet and i can download all the copyright tunes i want in a flash.
Plus i can hook up to my friends ftp server and with his
200+gigs on line... Well... I can get anything i need there too.
Including some of the stuff complete with serialz / crackz codes.
But for $40.00 a month on my cable... I'm connected 24/7 & i'll run
all of My Servers My Way. Yea... I know Time Warner has gone the
AOHELL Way. That makes me sad. And it's cut into their newsgroups.
But with the use of NewsHunter BOT Like software... I can find all the
FREE wide open for public free newsgroups servers i want. Then enter
them all into the NewsPro software & download almost anything i want & with
all the parts too.

No. No. No. Jbell was NOT doing anything ILLEGAL... But in many
of these ISP's they want you to purchase the BUSINESS Account version.
And that in many cases is really OVER KILL for the small person trying
to get started.
It's great that SEARS or Amazon.com has the money to buy a business
account. BUT with the average person looking to make a few extra
Holidays $$ and they are expected to pay what Sears or Amazon.com
pays just to make a few extra $$ for the Holidays... IS STUPID.
Unless Jbell manages to win some sort of lottery & has all that much.
But then... Now days you have to look real hard to find the right
ISP for you to build from a individual to a small business without being
taken to the cleaners while doing it.

I've been told by many ppl that they hate to see multiple grams sent to them.
AND yes... I've teed a bunch of ppl off by me sending multiple grams.
So what I would »»2

#2 - Like to see is to have the darn thing hold more message per gram than it's
being done now. And to give you the stupidity of the stupid thing... You are
actually seeing what i have to »»3

#3 - Do in order to get one simple message out when the darn thing is set up
so bad that you MUST use multiple message grams just to send out one
simple thing like i am doing to »»4

#4 - all of you right here & now... SO how many grams does this count as for
ONE message... = 4 GRAMS = Just Plain STUPID if you ask me.

PS: The arrows are the alt PLUS Number key [alt]+[175} = » and does not
conflict with any WEB based commands or newsgroup commands ">>>" might do.

I don't use ZoneAlarm... [BlackIce for me] But my nextdoor neighbor
uses it all the time. HE can still run AW but his is a little different.
Since he only has a 1st - 2nd generation 3d vider card he has to use the
3.0 browser in software excellerated video mode for him to even see aw...
As I've tried many times as a tourist on his computer popping into Broadway
world [That is one reason I got away with my Broadway visits... And on his
ISP address too] and all Just In could do was say... Hmmmm
your friend is in RPG World... Hmmmm..... Eric's friend was sitting
there in Broadway World instead whil mine was running at the time
in my apartment just down the hall... {How else can a friend show some
newbie TOURIST in record time what to do...] just down the hall means
one door away down the hall lolol..... But all Just In & OneSummer
could do was look on theit contacts [SEE ME LIT] and tell my friend Eric
to go shove off as polite as Just In knows how...
AIM... on my friend Eric... FIRE [POP YOU HAVE BEEN EJECTED FROM
BROWDWAY WORLD]
And my friend knows like i do the importance of CHAT LOGS & OTHER LOGS...
But any ways... he can get in AW... he has not tried for any other universe
like i have... So i don't know if his ZoneAlarm will prevent him on anything
other than AW.
My BlackIce will let me connect to I'M A CIT IN THESE LOCATIONS....
AW, Vectorscape, Outerworlds, City 4 All, Dreamland Park Universe,
Cybernet Universe, and lastly Galaxy Worlds Universe... THANK MY LUCKY
STARS.... No Just In's yet out there so far....

1 - Does AW allow for people to buy a cit without a credit card?
Yes They Do Allow For People To Buy Without A Credit Card.
I know several people myself that have gotten their cit's
buy sending in Money Orders or CASH in the mail method.
One of them lives in the Deleware USA area
And 2 of them live in Australia areas.
2 - The parent should monitor what the kid does on the PC more.
I agree. BUT again... All 3 of my friends that have gotten their
cit# by alternate means than Credit Cards also have some parent
that is working at the time the kid is home from school & using
the PC. So they are not there to monitor anything.
3 - I have meet many more good and ROTTEN teens & preteens in AW.
The really ROTTEN teens & Preteens... They are the ones
i would KILL to get my hands on a GUN [ejector] and blast their sorry
excuse of themselves out.[Only one like that from Australia]
The others i can reason with and not have to eject or just reduse
their gifts [rights] a little until they smarten up and then i give
them back their gifts [rights]. It works 99.99999999% of the time.
[I host 2 worlds & have world GIFTS in several others]
[As well as World GIFTS from other universes as well]

I noticed you hitting on Just In for his long messages.
I'm NOT going to take any sides on the issues that
Just In & Chucks Party are doing here... BUT dosen't that same
message you gave to Just In about snipping his messages also apply
to Chucks Party.
AND for that matter... Most everyone here who loves to see the
messages grow to some ungodly size...

Mar 12, 2001, 3:36am

Here is my HUGE complaint

1 - Those darn FLAME wars.
Example :
Just In VS FriendPA &/or Chucks Party
And FriendPA VS Just IN
or Chucks Party vs Just In

this holds true for everyone else who is squabling over some stupid thing.

2 -
MIS-Spel, MIS-Typ

Look... Not all of us are Whiz Kids who have had 50 yrs of schooling
in how to type well OR spell well...
Just learn to read between the MIS whatever and enjoy the read.

3 - All the other I HATE you & YOU HATE me stuff.... Please
Where is the HELP i need info?
It's being shafted.

MY SUGGESTION...
Create one more newsgroup heading called GARBAGE
and then all of these ppl that want to blame all the Just In's
And all the FriendAP'a & all the Chucks Party's and everyone else
can all go post in the GARBAGE one. Anyone who like to read that JUNK
can read the GARBAGE group.

But please.... Leave the general chat for the newbies and others who are
trying to find out some info
and need that info... It's hard to go through all the tons of CRAP to
find the really few messages that deserve to be read.

That is why i usually stay in the BOT & World Owners areas...
At least most of everything there is to read... Is not filled
with I HATE YOU's ir You are DUMMY or other CRAP.

Thanxxx to all of the noce ppl here...
I'll go back into the BETTER more enjoyable reading areas now.

Ohhhh..... For those of you that want to make a gripe...
FINE.... I can take it.
I might not read it for weeks though... But i can take it...
SO FIRE away with all your I HATE YOU & You HATE ME and SOMEONE HATES
AW or anything else you hate...

BUT that is my ONLY hate...

Mar 12, 2001, 3:51am

I realized that you are seeing the old email at the top of that last
comment i made...
OK...
I'll fix it.
SO now you will have the PROPER place to flame.
LOOK UP /\ /\ /\ The email is the proper one. The other was that
old 56k dial up one.

Mar 12, 2001, 4:03am

OK... I forgot to add one complaint...
You can see i'm not GOD and PERFECT...

But some ppl need to practice posting on the old BBS software...
Heck... You couldn't get anything past 99 lines if you tried.

And the old time FIDONET [Before Internet] would not allow for CRAP
like this for long...

HERE is an example...
How long does one of these LONG things have to go on before someone
finally waks up and kills off that CRAP you will see below the
arrows there...
That is just an example of hos most ppl that have never gone through
BBS school learned to do...
KILL off that long crap...

GUES WHAT EVERYONE... I'm Brave... So I KILL it off unless i actually
have to post using parts of it... BUT for this post only...
I will let you see how STUPID most of you act.

LOOK BELOW \/ \/

I'm sure glad I don't live anywhere WING does... I'm very fortunate
to have several local dial-ups that only charge $9.95 a month for UNLIMITED
useage. [www.a-znet.com] was my favorite one for the longest time.
Their policy on UNLIMITED means just that. For a dial-up user who could
rack up to 600 hours in one month and only be charged $9.95 per month...
COOL... [Dial-up 56k modem]
The service originates in Syracuse, NY [My home city & State] and they service
all of NY and parts of PA, Ohio, Mass, VT...

What is more amazing is when i fire up my newsgroups server...

Well... Yes... It should be changed a little. They even changed
AWSchool all different too. And AWGate. But AW GZ... But sometimes
it's just nice to come home... And as soon as you get there...
It's the same nice cozy place you left it. [Like in a house or appartment]
So sometimes NOT cahnging something can be just as homey and nice as
a place in constant change.

Hehehee... Same thing here but for a different command.
While playing with the Create Rotate command on Broadway World
and getting OneSummer tottaly worked up about it too [Didn't mean
to... BUT that is the way things happen]
I found the wrong command does 2 things.
create rotate 99999999999999999999 or so 9's will make some object
go Solid Off AND Invisible i too didn't tell anyone because...
Who is going to believe me. I'm not one of the Browser's beta testers...
BUT that is what i found out... Interesting.

I've been told by many ppl that they hate to see multiple grams sent to them.
AND yes... I've teed a bunch of ppl off by me sending multiple grams.
So what I would »»2

#2 - Like to see is to have the darn thing hold more message per gram than it's
being done now. And to give you the stupidity of the stupid thing... You are
actually seeing what i have to »»3

#3 - Do in order to get one simple message out when the darn thing is set up
so bad that you MUST use multiple message grams just to send out one
simple thing like i am doing to »»4

#4 - all of you right here & now... SO how many grams does this count as for
ONE message... = 4 GRAMS = Just Plain STUPID if you ask me.

PS: The arrows are the alt PLUS Number key [alt]+[175} = » and does not
conflict with any WEB based commands or newsgroup commands ">>>" might do.

Well.. Guess what... My nextdoor neighbor had that same problem
right around New Years day on his PC. I did all the standard tests.
Scandisk the drives & checked for surface scan... NOTHING Wrong.
And we thought there might be a virus since he didn't
do virus scanners...MS-Dos F-Prot Virus Scan. NOPE he was very lucky
there. WHAT our TECH friend discovered was his 1.6 gig hard drive...
It was trying to make it's new home somewhere in the south [DYING]
so you just might have to get yourself another hard drive.

I've been on some of the GOR worlds. Lora = A gor World.
I don't hate ppl if they want to do that stuff. It's just not for me.
What i found out in quick time was that many of the GOR worlds don't
pick on the tourist all that much. SO I stay as a tourist. TO ME...
It's a strange bunch of worlds to visit.... BUT I sure in hell
would not want to live there.

BUT I don't AND NEVER WILL hate any of the ppl that want to live there
and practice what they belive to be right. They make their choice.
FINE with me. Just don't get me involved in that as I'm off to explore
some other world... In the Active Worlds & more & more so
Active Universes Communities too... Vectorscape Universe,
Outerworlds Universe... etc...

Guess what.. I've been running into the same problems. Yes you can
find sites you take your MP3 files... BUT they have to go through the
extra web pages that you can't download them direct. What you might
try to do is to d a search for FREE WEB SITES and when you find the
Free Websites.net one look through it. It contains message forums
and an extensive list of web sites that you could do mp3 files.
BUT in most every case now you have to have it linked to a web page
or extra web page [Click on filename brings up the download web page]
OR use it in some sort of on-line broadcasting services.

One solution is to PAY $$ for a hosting services [READ the terms
of serveices like you MUST read a drivers liscense. AND or the
other solutions [If you can't find a friend to help you]
is to host your files on your web site. There are many excellent web
sohting softwear that won't kill the hard drive for being tooo big.
Xitami is an excellent one [I like TINY Web Host for my tests.]
And get yourself a FREE host name.
Mine is http://www.yi.org = jfk2.yi.org either web or ftp from my
hard drive. [same one for my email server &/or newsgrouops feeds when
i pop in that type of software].
BUt that might be the only solutions you will be having for a long time.

Awwwwww... Geee... That hurts...
After finding that they might work for v1.0.build 100 beta A
and he might have the more advanced one...
[[[I don't have the software & so i don't want the codes. BUT i have
found that is the case all too often. Version & build spiffic stuff
here]]]

Well... Maybe next time he'll listen & try the many
Warez, Serialz, Hackz, Codez web sites around and he would find
someplace that had one that would work.
