h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"
I particularly like the 'how do I?' conversation, but who could possibly forget Mu and the blu-tack?"

2 great suggestions there - one displays the helpfulness of the h2g2 crowd, the other is a great insight into the dangers of a hyper-active imagination.

I'd always assumed they were one and the same

All right, I realize this is like an "eleventh hour" posting, but I've just blundered back in to HooToo after a regrettably longer-than-a-full-year absence. May I still suggest?

A lurkers paradise

Another essential h2g2 phenom was Bubblish.
A celebration of, and honours to, its inventor
would be timely.

B4! Great to see you again!

Too long gone... I hope to be able to 'return to service' for the long haul.

Happy Birthday!

:-( favourite entries? I'm a bit late .. but there's http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F55017?thread=378581&skip=0&show=20 the thread where a small group of self-appointed shrinks and social workers tried to help a pregnant lesbian teenager who -ah, the miracles of the human mind- initially posed as a male sexual pervert annex real estate advisor. .. for those who read to the good part (about halfway) we apologise for the moderated entries. The girl did use rather harsh language indeed.

Cool old Guy been away way too long
"Well I have been a Researcher and will continue researching HooToo

First frontpages of h2g2 (take your pick before or during public availability) < A2211300 >"

I clicked on one of the conversations on one of the pages in that archive. People were comparing IE4 with Netscape - Gosh - I had forgotten completely about Netscape.

Cool old Guy searching his archives
"Still have a netscape somewhere

I posted the link as Gnomon reused his page (again)"

The last versions of Netscape were basically Firefox, weren't they?

IE is being retired too - to be replaced by Microsoft Edge.

Following Apple's lead in naming its OS versions after surfing beaches, Microsoft are now going to name theirs after guitarists.
