tap, tap This thing working?
At present I've got the Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge, and the connectnews.
one which I think I'm way behind in builds, think I've got 13. I can only get the announcement and discussion lot in the connect, and with the other using 127 etc: I have a long list of groups but can't get that working today, when I tell it to start it gives me the message that only one socket can be used and doesn't let me go any further. grrrrrrrrr -- Joan Archer http://crossstitcher.webs.com/ "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... "Joan Archer" wrote in message ... When you find one let me know I spent ages yesterday looking through them trying to sort out how to make this bridge thing work. I did come across a couple of XP ones but don't think I've manage to actually get any messages yet to download g which bridge are you using, Joan? - the 'official' one(s) or the one that works? g I'm still using the 'official' ones until the other one settles down build-wise - it had something like 5 releases in one day last week! -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk |

I am going to miss you all SO MUCH!!!!! I hated to write a goodbye post, so
held off. I had a great time remembering over 10 years of good times on this ng.......like when Mike and the OE guys were all at the MVP gala eons ago and the only ones holding down the fort were myself and Noel........that is how we met. The blind leading the blind, lol. And Majik was over on OE frantically trying to deal with stuff while his good buddy Steve C was hoisting more than a few.....lol. Lots of fun things to remember. I am only remembering those. We have had our share of wannabees and self-proclaimed X-spurts on WinME, but no one will ever hold a candle to Mikey!! And I wanted to call you that one last time, Sir Michael of London. (VBG) When we went to the UK in 2004, we met up with Noel in Chester for dinner (where he scared all the little old ladies) and I tried to pass an out-of-date 5 (?) pound note......lordy, that was funny!! Poor Noel!! And we had a wonderful, sumptuous feast in London with Mike and lots of yakking. Poor Mike!! I have been enjoying all of the memories while my *rememberer* still works, grin. Oh, and sitting in the pub with Noel chatting to Joanie on his mobile....hang the cost, eh?? Then Noel had to babysit my daughter Elayne when she went to Scotland and England the next year. I somehow don't think he minded that too much, snicker. The Mouse sends her best to you as well. She is recovering from nasty dental surgery, so is also one of the *walking wounded*. Yes, we have all had our ups and downs healthwise, but what the heck, it must be at least 10 years that we have known each other. I look forward to one day meeting up with John John if we ever get back to the Maritimes. Would love to go back to England, but don't think that will happen unfortunately. Damn, who else have I missed. Mart, how did we not meet up on our trip in 2004?? And I was so darn close to where you are. And the Loon....I phoned him when Katrina hit......he sure talks funny, but then he is a Texas Merkin. (G) So my darlings........I will gather up all the Maxines I can find and send them to you all.......that old broad kind of reminds me of myself, grin. She is an outspoken, outrageous old lady and I guess I sorta fit that description in my dotage. It would be nice if we could find another secluded spot on the WWW and continue on, but thanks to MS, that is not going to happen. Love to all and take care of yourselves, you hear?? Seeing as I am the oldest (which I have never admitted to before), you better listen up, OK?? 8-)) Big hugs from the two of us........you people are the best!! Ron and Heather "Mart" wrote in message ... I was going to suggest that the last person here turns out the lights before they leave, but then realised that will not be necessary as they will go out the moment MS pulls the plug. They've obviously thought of everything - except their "legacy" customers. Mart "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... Just checking, in case MS had a fit and cut us off at the knees a day early g AFAIK, there's still no 9x support forums whatsoever - at least in English (unless I've been looking in the wrong places) -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk |

Hi Figgs,
I didn't think I would be making another post here but it's too hard not to having just read your post. g As you say many of us have had lots of fun here in the Win Me NGs over the last ten years. I can't believe that it was as long ago as 2004 that we met up and I took Ron and yourself for a meal at La Barca here in London. BTW your memory has slightly let you down as Noel was with me in Seattle in February when we let you hold sway in the NGs in our absence. It would be nice if we could find another secluded spot on the WWW and continue on, but thanks to MS, that is not going to happen. There are places we could gather it we were so inclined, just not on the MS NNTP server so you would have to use eternal-september or one of the other free usenet servers. We could even set up our own newsgroup. What about alt.social.figgs.and.cream? vbg I'm sorry to read of your, Ron and Elayne's various traumas and ills and wish you all the very best as I do others reading this who are not in the best of health. I've got one big outstanding job I'm trying to finish off and when that's done will try and concentrate on writing some e-mails so just hold on, something should hopefully be winging its way in your direction soon - and to Joan and Shane as well. I'm copying this post to e-mail just in case this NG has gone before you get a chance to see my post. Hugs and kisses to everyone (not sure about kisses for Noel g) Signing off, Mike Heather wrote: I am going to miss you all SO MUCH!!!!! I hated to write a goodbye post, so held off.

We'll miss you as well Figgs, but at least we can keep in touch via email
although that doesn't seem to have the same feeling as this ng. We've had a lot of fun in here, is it 10 years, that means I've been using a computer for 12 years in September that's when I started with 98 and first found the newsgroups and Jim Eshelmans site AumHa, crikey where's the time gone, it'll also be 5 years in February that we packed up the evil weed. g I've saved some of these messages so lets see if this one gets to you all, if not through MS I have the ng's coming in through BT and eternal-september. I'm now going to see if that bridge thing has worked this morning so I can sort out just what's on that. I wont say goodbye as I'm bound to find some way of seeing you all around on the net and I have phone contact with some of you, see you on the other side g -- Joan Archer http://crossstitcher.webs.com/ "Heather" wrote in message ...
