are you using WebTV?

The UK Version of it yes.
Well, it's actually Digital Cable TV.. With Internet Access through the 'Interactive' section...
Just until christmas when i get mp computer!

It's not much good then?

It didn't used to be, but now i have got the new updated version of the set top and new browser and everything, it's okay, i know it only supports "Typewriter Text" and "Arial" Fonts but it's okay until i get my Computer at Christmas!

Well good luck!

Thanks... I was thinking of switching to Alabaster occasionally to bring speed on the TV quicker, but i just can't bare to do it!!

Tell me more...!

Well, i can write you homepages on here until i get my pc when i can write fully functional prefessional looking websites with images, tables, forms, frames and more, but until then, just simple homepage maintenance... i knew i shouldn't have put that in! sorry to get your hopes up if this isn't what you wanted!
But anyway, you know how to see someone's website at geocities? the geocities website, forward slash, the persons username...
my user name is chrisakahmmmm (4 "m"'s) '
There Mods! that's not a URL!! HAHAHA That should pass the external sites rule, if not, e-mail me through here...

I was just interested to know! I wouldn't really have any use for your services I'm afraid!

However, on the Geocities page you have an IQ test and it says that the I stands for Intelligence, and the Q for Quiz. I always thought the Q stood for Quota??

Aha!! you discovered my hidden initial question/test!! award yourself an extra point!!
Oh, and i'm glad it's still there, i thought after not being updated for a while b/c i lost internet access a few months ago, anyway...
oh okay, do you like Queen by the way, mostly all researhers i know love Queen!! See my tribute to the band at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A562790

When I'm in love with a girl who's Researcher name is "Killer Queen" it's hard not to be!

Really? aww
so are you really into the music? b/c there's a tribute page i made at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A562790

Oh, one more thing, how did you get on with the IQ test?

I found it confusing that the answers had different numbers to the question numbers!

I'd seen that kind of thing before so I guessed it would be quite quirky!
I didn't get the question about the 55p in two coins, very sneaky

Really? Oops.. must get to a pc and update that!
Anyway, did you understand the answer though?
only ONE is not a 5p piece!

Greebo T. Cat used one that i featured on my site in Just for Fun, so that's how i knew.

What does h2g2 look like on a telly?

Well, obviously, a PC Monitor is a diff. res. so looks different..
Erm, right, the Goo Thing down the side doesn't meet the BBC Oncline Logo Part at the top.. you can see the lines between the two images, and then there's the peer review advert at the top part, that doesn't join proper either. Oh, and it has a huge browser bar!! takes up about 20% of the screen!! all it has in it is an advert and 4 Coloured button things... "Navigate" "Help" "Shortcuts" "Services", Oh! and a small screen in the corner with the TVChannel on!
Not as good as a PC really.

Oh, and where i'm writing now is slow putting the text in. I Type a word, for example, and it comes up a little later. If there's a lot of text typed in the box, it can even take up to 8 seconds to type a word after i've finished typing it!! Oh
and it has a yellow highlight round it and the bits where you scroll the screen down or accross are no here, but the Page Up/Dn buttons act as the pg up/pg dn buttons on a pc do. Oh, and there are just big yellow arrowheads instead of those scroller things at the ends of the page.

Oh, and no mouse, so no copy/paste either!
