Hi Mags, and welcome to the forums :)
:thumbs:
Thanks TechZ, my computer's attention span is only as long as the home made telephone extension line stays intact, it runs from the back room, up a wall, over a door, down the wall to the modem !!
Partly the reason I'm getting a laptop soon, if that wire gets cut, I'm up a creek without an extension lead ! But also the laptop will keep me 'connected' while this PC gets reformatted.
Ole !
And the point is...?
Welcome, Mags. It's good to have another friend from the other side of the pond join WD. Have fun with the reformat. Make sure you do a good backup and download all the latest drivers for your hardware before starting.
Hi! Welcome to the forums! :thumbs2: There are drinks in the fridge and chips and dip on the table (can't vouch if it's still good or not..) :rolleyes:
Hi..welcome to the forums.
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum.
Looks to me -ed like you're missing out on a great new wotpp opportunity. :thumbs:Quote:

Slgrieb, 'the point is ... ', I don't know cos I don't know which bit you were referring to ! Hmm?
KingofBleh, I backup every week !
Thanks all for your welcome anyways, and TripleRLtd, I don't know what a wotpp is?
Laptop due here tomorrow .. but got a lot on this week, so goodness knows when it'll get looked at, let alone the reformat of this one.
Ah, Mags. I'm sure -ed will tell you all about wotpp. He is one of the leaders of the movement. ;)
And yeah, welcome aboard.:thumbs:
Ah well, I took wotpp to Google and it sent me to Windrivers, but on the way I found Women of the Prehistoric Planet (about which I know absolutely nothing! and it's too late at night to find out) .. and it was Techz who carries it around as his siggie .. as in as follows:

But there are no women of the PP here!
And Triple, why aren't you stepping on the gas and getting the wotsit out of there?!
Generally, most posters need help with a problem. Sometimes they forget little details like the nature of the problem and so on. Just kinda thought there was going to be more to your initial post! Kept waiting for that other shoe.
Also usually too busy and too stressed to be very chatty. I'm not retired, just tired.So, Hello Mags!
(Remember sl, this is the forum where peeps intro themselves and don't post there problems. :thumbs: )
So Mags, I'm sure that -ed and Z will be happy to know that "WOTTP" is a WD thing. They will be sure to explain. (I just love keeping you hanging, btw;)) Also, the "REAL" leader of the "WOTPP" movement is semi-retired and in seclusion at the moment...getting another job as well as his life straight. His name is "Adept", and he is missed and wished well by me for one. :thumbs:
WOTPP simply stands for Way of the Post Pad, basically post junkies ;)
Padding Posts, Mags, is an art... it's not just about posting LOL or Cool after every post (although that is a technique used by inexperienced members).
The art of post padding is creating a post that is completely useless but at the same time totally fascinating. True artists also leave some points unfinished in order to allow fellow post padders to practise their skills too.
That may just be the best explanation of WOTPP I've ever read. a d e p t would certainly be proud. :thumbs:Quote:

His way of semi-answering a question, forcing the questioneer to post again, which ultimately leads to multiple posts by himself, elevates him to King of the post padders.Quote:

Well ...er...don't mind me, just chat amongst yourselves about post padding and whatever .. I'm gonna stick with Women of the Prehistoric Planet. I didn't study what they really were, but they had no computers, maybe they sewed and knitted and painted and wrote poetry? Have been at a Craft Evening ... am sure no-one's listening to this .. and women everywhere, the odd man, well I don't mean odd men, I mean odd men, wandering around. Cards, silk painting .. no-one's reading this so I can pad on a bit more .. girls singing, playing instruments, me doing a poetry performance and being applauded .. I'll get no claps for this Prehistoric :rolleyes: Planet Pad.
Night.
Welcome Mags
what a name........ anyone that shares a name with someone as umm..infamous? famous.....ok mediocre as me, has just got to be special......
Post away! Most of us will tollerate a high degree of perversity. CRAP!! I meant DIVERSITY. The same kind of Fruedian slip I recently experienced with my wife. I said, " God! You're annoying!" when I meant to say, "Please pass the marmalade, my love". Still explaining this to her attorney. OK, sometimes I'm chatty.
Also Mags, while we are on the subject, I think the claps is caused by a recently evolved bacterium, and Prehistoric Women weren't ravaged by the disease. Only by sabertooths, Mastodons, Mammoths, enemy tribes, and their immediate family if they lived in Arkansas or West Virginia.
Now there you go, your first step to a truely creative post pad... in order to improve your technique, may I suggest that the Women of the Prehistoric Planet be explained a little more - enough to tease some interest in the subject from fellow WOTPP members?Quote:

Hi Mayet, thanks for the welcome, I clicked on your link and erm... some items were most interesting ..
Slgrieb, you obviously know a great about a great deal, except the marmalade!
NooNoo, oh, creative padding, goodness me, good job I don't have time, I once rattled off a 2,000 word article before church one Sunday, editor said it was too long!
Explain more about the Women of the Prehistoric Planet? Don't have time at the moment, as off to a Rock n Roll Gig at 8.15 and dunno what to wear yet! Been setting up laptop, finally it's almost manageable and back in it's box. Can't do a thing with this PC yet, wait til Ellie's kids are back at school and I've got this week over.
Now the point is, were the Women Prehistoric or was it the Planet that was Prehistoric?

One never delivered one's own letters, if one did so, then one may as well not have written a letter .. the friends were called .....
Well, since no one else is stepping up to the post... http://www.mst3kinfo.com/daddyo/di_104.html
Should give you a good start on understanding Women of, but I have to say this only scratches the surface of this piece of, uh, classic cinema.
Aah, Slgrieb, you are the first to actually mention the 1965 Women of the Prehistoric Planet, but what we are discussing and discovering ... are the Women of THE Prehistoric Planet, who actually differ from the Women of the Prehistoric Planet, in that our women didn't live on that planet, they live on THE Prehistoric Planet ..
...and as it's 11.40pm here ... :rolleyes:
Perfect Mags, sheer unadulterated WOTPP. You are a fast learner ;)
...well, coming straight from the new laptop, complete with workman in bathroom doing tiles, front room and PC inaccessible, me running round, 'can I just put newspaper there!' we now move on to more about Women of THE Prehistoric Planet....
Oh by the way, does anyone think we ought to start a new thread in the ...whatever it's called ... (remember the dots) ... Forum?
THE Prehistoric Planet differs from the Prehistoric Planet, in that it started in 894 BC whereas the Prehistoric Planet was bought to the public eye around 1965/1966. Therefore, in 894BC, there were no postmen, that's why the women had to deliver each other's letters ... anyone else know any more about the WotPP's of 894? :)
Hello Mags. :)
You have a nice website.

Thank you, Platypus, so has your friend!
I'm still alive.
Really.
Oy! :thumbs2:
What's up buddy ? :thumbs2:
There seems to be a slight problem with the MindTrap scores. I haven't received my 1000 points for summoning you. I am a Genie afterall. ;)
