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

Hiya sweetie

It was wonderful to meet you on Friday - I'm sure I said it many times, but you have *nothing* to apologise to me for. I had a great time - it's such a shame you didn't get to meet Nyssa... I did my best with the photos, taking as many as I could without seeming impolite... If you see any of mine (when I get the developed - which will be soon!) that you want copies of, just let me know.

And thanks for all the books, and my pressie I've just got to find somewhere to display it now - somewhere I'm not likely to knock it onto the floor and break it!

you arent meant to use her name

...where did he use my name?

I feel so lame about not meeting her.
it was lovely meeting you and thankyou ever so much for taking the photos for me

Perhaps join up again @ the summer meet?

I got Abi to change the title of this thread (thanks hon! ) - I had a total brain failure and used your real name...

Not a problem at all sweetheart, I'd be glad to do it again. Definitely get together again for the summer meet!

*big s and s*

Ohhhh, ok. Sorry Diablos...IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME

Good

Hm...I think they're hinting that they want me to leave the library for lunch time.
Little do they knowww Im coming back after 1! har har! their bandwidth wont know whats hit it.

xxxx

Hehehe... Play nicely sweetie, try not to break it

they dont need any help with me breaking it..

Are they that bad? Maybe you should give them a few tips!

*raises eyebrow* what am I mean to say to them??? give them a stick to poke the monitor with

I think they got these computers on Lottery money. Hehehe, its very sweet, they all have padlocks on the back so you cant open them

Maybe 'Get some decent computers'?

Hehehe... I remember all the PCs at uni being locked as well... why don't they trust us?

I've no idea, I mean....one of the big points of a library is to Learn, and you cant Learn about computers if you dont look inside one.

Well, you can, but then you can also know about the plotline of a book without reading it...

Hmmm... Perhaps they're just a little (teensie-weensie) bit worried that people might take the computers apart, and not be able to put them back together again... or worse, run off with some of the bits!

*ahem* No offence to anyone who uses these computers, but....especially the 2 people on the others @ the moment, they'd probably use the RAM for spreading their butter on their toast....so...I doubt they'd know what to do with the inside...which backs up your point. Im meant to be arguing with you, damnit

You can never beat me in an argument...

If that's what they'd do to teh RAM, I dread to think what they'd do with the hard drive!

, wonder why it wont play anything when they put it in the VCR

Oh dear...

Hang on, you mean they know how to work a VCR?

Of course, this is a generation brought up by the TV...
it feels really....ancient-making..(nessing...) that they've never heard or seen of the Betamax videos...

Or 8-track tape recorders...

Or cassette tapes at all!

*nods*

I was talking to Marcus the other day, and I asked if his computer had old keyboard and mouse sockets (...5 pin I think) or new ones (green and purple) and he said that by 'old' he thought of the green and purple and New was USB!

The days of 256mb Ram...and if I've got the figure wrong leave me alone Im dyslexic

Yes, I remember the old 5 pin DIN plugs... teh computer I took to uni with me had them! And only 32 MB of memory!
