Post by: Asher Hello Bye on 15 March 2002, 02:25: I have a pc (I know, I hate it) and I noticed you can't read MS Word files. Microsoft double-crossed itself! Fuck microsoft.

Post by: Mysterio on 15 March 2002, 06:07: Yeah, that does suck bunches. If you try to read Works on Word, it wants to change it so it can read the Works shit, and then you can't use Works anymore.

Dumb fucks.

Dumb fucks.

And if you want to read the word files right, you need to download their "works veiwer" no cut and paste or editing. Fuck them.

Perhaps you should try installing Microsoft Word.

Post by: voidmain on 16 March 2002, 19:18: Better yet, install OpenOffice. Then you don't get yourself caught up in Microsoft's costly yearly upgrade plan.

Better yet, install Apple Works for windows. It reads anything Word can create and it

What costly upgrade plan? Just install Office 97 and stick with it.

Post by: voidmain on 17 March 2002, 21:17: Yeah right. And then what do you do when your so called buddy sends you all those crappy documents in Office XP format?

Post by: Calum on 18 March 2002, 15:50: anybody notice that gooseberry clock is from the "United Kingdom"?

Anybody knows that a person claiming to be from the "United Kingdom" must be English, since the Welsh, Scottish and Irish all know that our so called kingdom is anything but united.

Next he'll be saying he comes from "Great Britain"!

Post by: foobar on 18 March 2002, 17:48: Maybe he'd be running to his local IT store to 'simply' buy winblows xp and office xp ....

I remember to have read a post somewhere where mr. Clock had his town of origin posted instead of UK.

Maybe his next 'from' will be europe ... or Milky Way (http://tongue.gif)

Why must you patronize americans, I know were that is!... but then again I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and traveld in Europe for a while.

Ya, I think avoiding being raised on MTV and sitcoms helped making me a more well rounded sort of person.

No problem there Druid. I'm from the Midwestern part of USA and I know where Wales is. I have never been there but studied geography in school 30+ years ago. I still remember some of it. (http://smile.gif)

Post by: Gonusto on 21 March 2002, 02:14: Could people give us Americans just a little bit of credit? Please? (http://smile.gif) I recently graduated from the public school systems where geography is no longer taught (at least not formally) and I still know where Wales is located. Maybe it has something to do with my Scotch and Irish ancestry . . . which has been traced back to McBeth and the first kings of Ireland (yes, McBeth was a real Scotish king). Not all of us are ignorant or ethnocentric . . . unfortunately most of our "elected" officials are and that damages the image of the rest of us.

Town of origin? That can't be right. I'd never put stuff like that on the net.

Post by: MxCl on 21 March 2002, 23:01: I'm from England and I hardly know where Wales is. It's east of London isn't it?

Didn't Hitler invade Wales when he was trying to conquer Asia?

After very little research from my IP address tracker I have found the one web site with all of your info. Here's your story:

40 points, VoidMain!

PS, Luke, as i mention above, only an English person would say they were from the UK. with the possible exception of a few Welsh people, everybody in the so called UK would rather be out of it, and away from the English than admit to being in any way united with them.
