I was in the first class in Peoria in 72, ran the branch there in 73-74?, and classes in La Salle/ Peru and a few other places. Used to love getting together with the folks from Waukegan in 73 especially cause I got to see one particular girl from there. If any of you came down to what we billed as "The first Illinois Limb Meeting" in Peoria at the Pere Marquette Hotel I must have met you. It was a great time with Ted and Mardelle, Claudette, and oh yes, VPW and his wife. We had a great time pulling that together. Hardest part was buying the Drambouie for VP, since we were all under age LOL Left IL to go WOW in PA, and never lived there again. I have gone back often, especially this year, but those trips are finally about done.

--> Please please, don't show Chwester how to do this. I dread the thought of his ideas in graphic form!!!!! LOL

Do you know if the spellings are correct for those names? I have accewss to numerous online phone directories, but found no listing anywhere in the US for Coy or Mona Beamon

Here is the latest chatroom link. Its all the rage!!!! come check it out. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/main/chatpara.htm For more info, check out the threads in the Open Forum. Come there or miss out! Are you SURE Shellon doesn't bite? (putting on Armor gloves just in case.)

No, Chatty, you were not there, it was Lindy, Flysweet and someone else at 11:00 mtn time that still showed up on the list. If you didn't log out when you left, then maybe I am wrong about why people still show as being in the room. Maybe it issomething to do with "Always on" connections and not logging out? Not a big deal, just an observation to make for less confusion in a popular place. Sure is fun to see people there and get away. HAP Hap (not hope or hop) HAPe4me :D-->

When you leave the chat room, you should log off rather than just closing the window. I think that is why some people appear to be in the room after they have said goodnight.

you do not need to register or put in a password at this time. I guess you can at the parachat main site if you want to pay a fee, but the room doesn't require it. What do you mean it locks up? Describe what happens.

How do I get it back to the one thin line tray that I had before? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is the task bar the only thing that is bigger than usual on your desktop and programs? I thought it might be an appearance setting (Control Panel>Display> appearance) but most of those settings would affect more than just the taskbar. ie caption button size setting. You might save your current scheme as something you remember (I use dates to help remember the latest scheme) Then try adjusting the settings for variou of the items listed. I dunno what else, hopefully Igotout or someone will pop in here to help you soon. I am no expert, just a trial and error person.

LB, you might be able to put your cursor near the top of that tray. if it changes to an up/down arrow thing, you can drag it back down to proper size. (Or almost hide it completely)

hehe, my college junior kid was digging through some old vinyl 33s I have and he dug out some Simon and Garfunkle, Joan Baez etc and stretched out on the couch to rest. After several trips to flip the records, he turns to me and asks: "How on earth did you ever get to fall asleep to music when you were a kid? I no sooner get my eyes closed and I have to go change the record!" I laughed and said there was always radio. Ted, thanks for driving yourself Mardelle and Claudette to Peoria, IL in 73 or 74 for the first statewide Illinois event. We were so glad you accepted our invite. Loveya, HAPe4me

John zix, Goey et al, These tricks have been helpful to me to in trying to configure my son's Sony laptop with XP. (I run Win 98 on my desktop, due to being too cheap to buy a new scanner, among other things) I used the screencapture tricks to capture the running tasks on his XP machine. My question is this: 1. With 98 I typically end task on everything except systray and explorer when I 9install new programs. What would be the comparable processes to keep running in XP when Installing? 2. Could you point me to a site that tells what are the typical running apps on an XP machine? I suspect that he has too many going right after bootup. There are 26 at that time. I suspect some of them are due to the proprietary nature of the Sony laptop, but I don't know for sure. I am now gonna see if I can use that link to learn what some of them are. TIA, HAPe4me

Would any of you know what became of Brad Hinch? He was involved with WB in the 80s but I lost track of him.

So guy, fancy seeing you here. How's the wife and kids?

Anyone have info on Mark Caffarel, formerly in Denver early 80's. I never could get his name spelled right.

Lost2. Are you also formerly from Peoria? I'm from there. If anyone has contact info for Pat (mom) or for Dave, please e-mail me at Muhtrap@aol.com
