Yes please, BB!smiley - smiley

But I have a question:

Can you post simultaneously with 2 different characters?

I've tried it, but as soon as my second personality logs on, first personality is left out...

Does it take 2 different browsers (? is that the word?) like Netscape and Explorer - or is another way to do it...?

The only time you can guaruntee a free PC is 5 minutes before they close the computer rooms.

As for obscure ones - they tend to be all 486s, or other, slower PCs which take longer to load a forum than it takes to queue for one of the PIIIs.

Funny here the ones everyone knows about in the library are the slowest...

The library ones here are the most-used, definately. The legs on the keyboards are all broken off and all of the mouses scroll wheels are broken. They're also slower than the PIIIs - not sure what they are as I try to avoid them. But the actual computer room buildings are always busy too... smiley - sadface

Yeah, Joanna, I'm in the process of getting addicted too! I have probably done as much writing on H2G2 as I would have had I actually written my paper this weekend. Suggestions for being productive on the paper and staying off H2G2, anyone? The LAN makes this really hard.

Also, come join the Southeast US Researchers' Group! We're new and looking for members. http://www.h2g2.com/A479225

BB, earlier you referred to the 'Researcherspotting' page:

I posted there about 2 months ago, but it still hasn't been updated...

Oooh... a Scandinavian meet. That sounds fun. If only I weren't so cash-deficient.smiley - winkeye

It's a good thing this addiction though, cause you get to meet all sorts of people that you might never meet otherwise.smiley - biggrin

Now where's that pyscho got herself off to? Think I might have to 'doc' her wages this month if she doesn't put in a few more hours...

Perhaps I should start advertising for a new pyschotherapist for the Addiction Clinic. Anyone want to apply? We work on the basis of 'it takes one to know one', so anyone with a major h2g2 addiction would be the perfect candidate.smiley - winkeye
