Geez. 5 pages and no action? I take it we're still in March, 1938.

Arnie was at my college commencement when I finished there. Like me, he went to little old University of Wisconsin - Superior.

Correction: ALT-TAB switches the screen to the next program you have open or the desktop. It captures nothing. Use the PRT SCR key to the right of the F12 key. D

Yes. Thanks for the correction. I don't know why I said Alt-Tab when I very much meant Alt-PRT SC. Sorry. [:(]
ALT-Facts?

I don't press the ALT button at all when I use the Prt Scr. I think that was an old OS requirement but you don't need to do that now.

At the rate this PBEM is going , I'll probably be ending this AAR soon. In ten years of play variations of this game I've never seen or experience such a Charlie Foxtrot. [:(][:(]


Don't do that! This is more fun than a Abbott and Costello movie!
You must ENJOY watching an old man bang his head against the wall! Sadist![:D][:D]

If you have dual screens and hold down Alt-PrtScrn it tells windows to only capture the active screen.. Otherwise windows in all of its wisdom screenshots both screens at once.

I know we want an AAR here, and Steve I feel your frustration, and I too would be frustrated. Hopefully the jocularity here will lighten the mood enough for you to hang in there long enough to get this show on the road. I know I for one am looking forward to this AAR.

BTW although no gaming has actually taken place as yet, its been a hoot.[:D]

Gorns don't hibernate. They freeze the planet.

It's just falling back so the other thread doesn't know it's being followed.

Again with the cunning plans! Why, this thread is so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

And I thought the plan was to get both the Gorn and his tail. Now you tell me we have to get the Gorns tail and a weasel and then perform some sort of surgery... [&:]

Nothing so clinical. They just take the dropped Gorn tail, put a big spike on the attaching end and smack it on to the other critter, et voilà - pop goes the weasel! (another literary reference for those who were deprived in their formative years).[:'(]
