the netscape fish cam is [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F] so... I think there is somthing wrongwith your keyboard, unless your on a MAC?
Well, I don't know try it in MS word or notepad.

nope, doesn't work there, either. i guess i must've been in a different section than i thought. use a mac?! not unless i have to! i try to avoid macs; they have too much "cuteness", and the mouse feels all wrong.

hmm de dum, no the fact the the limiting factor is you the person, the computer canonly dowhat it's told and as long as it IS microsoft windows on a PC with a QWERTY key board and you have tryed it on multipul Pc's and it dosn't work, It must be you!
I don't kown how anything else could be that coincidentle, but still I have tryed this on 12 PC's all of difrent make/type/OS's and right from windows 3.11 the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + ieoou thing always worked.
could you try it again, oh and down press [+] thats just there to show you that you have to hold thougs keys down

yes i know that. that's what i'd *been* doing. it *still* doesn't work, even pressing ctrl AND alt AND ALL of the vowels at the same time. nor does it work with any combination of those and shift or caps. it doesn't work with any combination of the different ctrl and alt keys. it just *won't work*, no matter what i do or what possible combination of keys i use, even things that should have no bearing whatsoever on it.

couldn't be. like i said, i've tried it on different ones, at the library,(which is where i am now, since the netzero account ran out--turns out its 24 hrs per household, not per account, therefore i can only be on the net at the library until next month when it resets itself. later on we're supposed to get dsl-- i'm so exited, i'll be able to spend so much more time here!) and no dice. of course, they aren't that diferent, but it still means it *can't* just be my computer. perhaps it's just something we can blame on "micro$oft"?

what were they *thinking* when they decided to give tourist rides to someone with no experience and probably no training?! *imagineing a possible scene from the spacecraft*: civy: "hey, what does this button do?" astroanaughte(i don't know how to spell it so i've just put in all the letters that *might* be in it. english is such a funny language.): "NO DON'T TOUCH THA..!" spaceship: "BOOM!" people back at control: "oh, ****, must be that idiot tourist!" people 30 miles away, on the ground: "ooooo, look at the pretty fireworks!"
