<robh is in total agreement with cmcgee, unless kerouac is
graciously going to give robh the $2000 necessary for robh
to buy a computer to access Backtalk through a graphical browser>

No, I don't think I want to frighten people away from using Grex; I'm not
very photogenic. I am also not interested in putting up web pages for my
confs. I cannot use backtalk (I think it's neat, though) due to my lack
of arrow keys.

Ditto what Rane said. But Thanks for setting up the "ignore" feature,
Valerie.

Lack of arrow keys? Gods, even my computer has arrow keys!
(On the numeric pad, granted...)

query about Backtalk: I just noticed that where the login names are
highlighted in blue, they are all in the same font EXCEPT Popcorn. She
gets her own font style for some reason. Interesting. Also, so long as
the login names are highlighted and in parentheses, I dont think it is
necessary have them underlined as well. Lose the underlines, it will
look better.

That's a configuration in your web browser, not in BackTalk. BackTalk links
the login names to information about the user (the .plan file, I think). Your
web browser makes it blue and underlines it to show that it's clickable. Most
web browsers default to showing links to things you've already looked at in
a different color than links you haven't already looked at. Presumably (wow,
who would have guessed...) you've used backtalk to look at popcorn's .plan,
but not anybody else's.

I've never used backtalk to look at anyone's plan, I didnt even know
you COULD call up a .plan via backtalk

This computer is a MacPlus build and designed by Steve "Toy Story" Jobs.
Not my fault. ;)

Why $2000 for a 'puter that'll run a graphical browser? I think my last tally
of computer stuff was somewhere 'round $200-$250. I've dumped IE 3.0 in favor
of Netscape 3.0b (AFTER taking the "IE Challenge" on the MS site).
Hey! Bill! :P

I've been afraid to visit MS's site with IE3 since it decided to automatically
"improve" my copy of IE into oblivion. Suggestion: if it starts giving you
messages like "installing new module" without asking you first, hit your
power switch as fast as you can!! :-)

Remember, folks, if you select "o" for Options and turn your
number-pad option on, you can use number keys to move around in
Lynx, even the ones at the top of your keyboard.
You can also turn the vi option on, and use H J K and L to move
around, if you're familiar with how vi used those keys for movement.

The original Macs didn't have arrow keys, or the number keypad at the side
of the keyboard. The idea was that the mouse would make arrow keys obsolete.
It didn't. Apple soon started selling separate number keypads that people
could put next to their keyboards, and by the time the Mac Plus came along
the keyboards had number keypads and arrow keys.

Hmm... maybe it was later than I thought, then. My Mac Plus had a number
keypad and arrow keys built into the keyboard, but it was one of the later
Mac Plusses (we got it about a month before the Mac II and the SE came out).

Re using vi keys in lynx: The problem I ran into with vi keys is that then
you lose options like "h" for help, since "h" is now the left-arrow key.

True, but if you don't need help, that's not a problem. >8)

The Mac Plus keyboards did have numeric keypads and arrow keys. The 128
and 512 series did not. However, 128, 512 & Plus keyboards are all
interchangeable.
I'm going to see if I can get an older version of Mosaic to run on this old
Plus running system 7.0... ;)

Yup, all I have room for is a 512 keyboard.

Well, Mosiac was too memeory hungry for a Plus with 4M. Isearched the
web and found something called MacWeb. That'swhat I'm running at this
moment and I'm on Grex throughBacktalk as a result ;) (Pretty neat!)

I'm interested! a Plus with 4M is what I have. How can I find this
MacWeb thing? (And then could someone email me to explain how to
"download" something? Never done it.

It's on FilePile.com. Once you get there, do a search for the name
Macweb, and just download it, or I could put a copy in my home directory.
Your call Catriana.
I'm using it to develop a new web page.
the address for filepile is http://www.filepile.com
