Speaking of pics, my buddy was here form West Palm (evacuee from Jeanne)
and when the damn storm came here (we are still without electric and I'm
on a generator so I probably won't be around again until the electric
gets turned on) he took some super pics of the palm trees on my property
during the eye-wall. When he gets back home and sends them to me, I'll
post them.

Hmmm......


I wonder how one does that with WebTV........


Simple. One makes a webpage with the photos. You forget my skipfish page
with them yankee boys?


I was not aware of that page


*If you need detailed instructions on how basic webtv operates and
functions, email me.


I'm just curious how you can upload pictures
from a machine which can not handle file
transfers (At least according to the literature
I've read).


Can't upload anything, not sure about what you mean by "file transfers".


If you don't know, then it's a sure bet you can't do it.


The MSN home page claims that you can
create web pages, and mention adding
photos, but gives no further info on how one
actually accomplishes it. My digital camera
uses a USB port to transfer images. The
WebTV console does not advertise a USB
capability.


Perhaps not, but they most certainly have a manner in which to load
pics, but I have an old "classic" set up, the oldest webtv there
is,,,the very first one. The only way I can post a pic is to receive it
from someone else in email and then repost it or publish it on a page,
or else cut and paste a pic, but of course, lifting a pic for any reason
that the user did not take is against federal law governing intellectual
property rights unless explicit written permission was given.


Ok, that answers my question. You can't upload your own pictures. You
can only cut and paste existing pictures which are sent to you. That's
all I wanted to know.

In any event, let's clear up something for Mopar and myself. Mopar
should be reminded that the discontent coming from "George" can be only
one of two people....wa3moj, which Landshark has proven beyond
reasonable doubt to the masses, or yourself. Now, before you get crazy,
allow yourself this simple explanation.... you and "Geo" are the ONLY
ones to ever post regarding intimate knowledge of Lancaster (Amish
Country).......example: speaking of the previous ownership of Zinn's on
Route 30.


If Landshark has already "proven to the masses" that "george" is
really wa3moj, then why accuse me?


Let's analyze this statement for a second shall
we? You conclude that the person posting as
"George" has to be either WA3MOJ or me,



I didn't conclude it, I surmised it.


Semantics.

based solely on the basis of our geographical
proximity to Lancaster Pa.?



Not at all,,I based it on you are the only two to have EVER posted here
regarding information f Lancaster.


And that precludes anyone else from living here and knowing something
about the area? Hell, even you have made comments about this general
area. Maybe YOU are the one posting as "George"?

That would be the same sort of reckless accusation as if I were to
"surmise" that since you live in Florida, you must be the same guy who
used to go by the handle of "King Kong" some years back, that earned
some sort of notoriety on the band.


Here's another possibility for you to consider.
The person you speak of is neither wa3moj or
anyone else who you know, but rather another
anonymous twit who's been having a huge
laugh at everyone's expense as they accuse
other people of being responsible for the
deeds.



And the only way you know this for absolutely sure and without any doubt
whatsoever, is you are either that person, or heavily involved with the
harassment. I surmise both.


I didn't conclude it, I surmised it. ;-) And you are correct. The
only way that I WOULD know for sure is to have some direct
involvement. But I'm not saying that this IS the case, only that it is
a distinct possibility.

One thing that I DO know for sure is that I've never posted here in
the last 9 years under any other alias but my own given name. I have
no need to hide behind fictitious names.


But the big question, that I want to know, is
why bring this up in the middle of a discussion
about the capabilities of WebTV?



Because you reminded me of your trouble making ways and double talk by
posting and asking me things before you answer the questions posed to
you.


Lame excuse. But one that does not cover your inability to remain
on-topic.


Exactly,,,like our last exchange concerning your involuntary feelings of
need to meet "Twistedhed".
Since you don't see things the way the majority of the world does, it is
of little concern.


That's a hoot, as I am far more in line with what most moral, and
respectful people see than you are evidently aware of.



**My other piece of enjoyed entertainment at the moment is you
appear to have lost your zest for the quest of meeting up with myself.
After expressing your dire want to meet many times on this group and
mentioning your trip to Disney, I offered you several avenues in which
to achieve your quest, the last of which you failed to respond.
_
One minor correction, I am not of a "dire want"
to meet you.


Double-talk again.


No, that's the straight up truth. You are nothing more than a
curiosity to me.


You went out of your way and became so enthralled in
your frustration over this, you posted a direct threat that you would
"spread my personal info around".


When did I do that? Certainly not recently. If I did make the comment
that I would "spread around your identity", it was only to end the
madness that had infected this newsgroup. Most anonymous agitators
suddenly loose their drive when everyone finds out who they really
are. I've found that out time and time again on the CB band over the
years. That's why most of the people in my channel groups have all
become proficient at direction finding. It's helped to quell the idiot
factor.

I suspect that this is why you are being so evasive when I inquired as
to this meeting. You have no intention of revealing yourself, as your
anonymity is far more important to you than coming to some face to
face reconciling.


I will just be in the general area next month,
and gave you the opportunity to prove once
and for all that you are someone beyond your
little cartoon character facade.



How privileged I am to be graced with the chance to "prove" something to
you. If you mattered in the context of anything, I might be interested
in what you do or do not believe, but alas, you do not, and I am
perfectly content watching you self-frustrate over my cartoon character
that drives your misguided quest.


I'll take that as an admission that you have no desire to set the
record straight.

You offered me the choice of either finding
you on the CB, which of course, I don't know
what you go by or what channels you talk on,
which then gives you a convenient excuse to
say that you weren't around when I came
looking. Or giving you MY cell phone number
(Which I don't have), where again there is no
guarantee that you'd call and you now would
theoretically have a piece of my personal
information.


Only YOU are the one making threats with personal information, not I.


Lose the lame excuse. It's no longer relevant.

What a case of classic self-projection,,,,merely because you would stoop
and lower yourself to harassing another via the "spreading of their
private information" doesn't mean others would do it. In fact, the
majority of regs here are not like you at all. Only a few scumbags are
interested in harassment as you threatened.


Really? Then what do you call the latest round of "intimidation" with
Doug, and Steveo, and Leland, and the on-again, off again "meetings,
answering machine messages, photo taking, and harassment of
significant others then? I'd say that there are quite a few people on
this board who are preoccupied with using others personal information
against them.


That would involve a level of trust that I quite
frankly do not have as of yet.


Seems like you have yourself another quandry.


Do I?

I will
assume you were having fun and blowing smoke not expecting to actually
be given several real-life opportunities to fulfill your curiosity and
respond in kind. Behave yourself.


Now, if you would just direct me to a place
where I could find you, at a specific time, then
I could make the meeting.



Sure,,your hotel. In this manner, you have no personal information of
mine (my work, my plae of business), and I none of yours


You'd drive all the way to Kissimee?

Besides, you already know way more about me, than I do about you. You
already know my name, my call sign, and by extension, my home address.
I also have a web site which includes some photos of myself, as well
as my history in radio. Mind you, I have nothing to hide. On the other
hand, you (or someone acting in proxy for you) could show up and,
well, it wouldn't really solve anything. Your lack of trust in this
matter is showing.


You have a charter boat business. I would
think that would be an excellent opportunity.


Deal. Send me your credit card information for a full day excursion.


Hah Hah!! Like I'd do that. What do you take me for, a fool? Besides,
for you to charge me, you'd have to use a legitimate business name,
which would show up on my credit card bill. You sure you want to do
that?


I will give you ten percent professional discount and I accept Triple A,
in addittion to AARP discounts. In the fall (now), I have a strict
cancelation fee because of the crowds. A reservation fee of $100.00 is
imposed on your card, but applied toward the remainder of the balance
when your trip is complete.
DO NOT book this trip unless you want your card charged.


I don't want to take a trip, I just want to say hello, shake hands and
maybe talk a bit about the sandpile.........
