And of course, I also save everything posted by Bernie.


I choose the topics that I can respond to and know that I'm wrong. wallbash.gif doh.gif  

Good one, Harv. :whistle:
Umm, I'm a nerd.

WHAT?! Don't you have any duct tape in the house?! Get about a 2-3 foot piece of tape and sling in under those sofa's and beds (while holding one end of the tape, BTW). That thing will catch the critters faster than a 2GHz P-IV can crash! :eek!: doh.gif  harhar.gif

Whatever Jim was on - it hasn't worn off yet!

Like RHP, it tends to depend on how busy I am and/or what or who catches my eye. But I try to visit every day. I keep TS running behind my work screen so if there is five minutes I can catch up.  One of the great joys of TS is the range of interests that crop up. You name it, someone almost certainly has at least some of the info you need (thanks Harv smile.gif  ). And I can't even start to describe my pleasure on the odd occasion when I can actually "pay back" a little of the help I've received. (I've finally told my other half why, when there's an unfigurable problem, I just say "Blame it on Bernie"  devilishgrin.gif  )

Hardly ever even visit other forums these days....  I must get out more....

Like most everyone else...I try to read all posts...but find myself just checking titles quite often. Sooner or later though I read them all or at least 5 days back.

Odd.
When I answered the poll a while back, it wouldn't let me reply afterwards.
I opted for by topics. And thus appreciate everybody who makes them clear. :whistle:
The rest I tend to catch up in stray moments.

I haven't nearly enough time to read everything, though I'd love to... another addition to my what-to-do-when-I-retire list.

I DO try to read everything by kelly, and also by all of the administrators.  kelly was my first real computer mentor -- except for one really cool Maxpert at the Comp USA where I bought my first Mac.  But, alas, he disappeared.  

kelly has saved me untold dollars, starting back at the old board -- what was the name?  I can't even remember now.  His links are amazing.  By following them initially, I also learned how to look for answers to problems I was having, & often solved them before even turning to TS.

I want to go on about the other administrators and ordinary folks who post on this board, who have especially given me advice which was so helpful, but I know I'll leave someone out.  Diana and Paddy's advice about javascript for eliminating spam on my website e-mail was great.  tacit is a veritable fountain of knowledge on Adobe Photoshop, and printing and color issues.

I wish I could offer more help to others, but I'm only in the 3rd grade, computer-wise, so I can only help the kiddie garteners.
