So, why the feck didn't you hit the correct keys on the keyboard to produce the prose contained in paragraph 2??? Basics of communication - say what you mean and everyone can understand your point!

I do apologise!, I forgot who/what I was dealing with, in future I'll be sure to KEEP THINGS NICE AND CLEAR FOR YOU.

Anyway, you haven't got time to play on this thread, surely you must have some highly technical advise to give to a fellow blind person somewhere!

[Richard B]

Thanks for the apology, but there's no need to shout.

Don't know what you mean about you reference to blind people. Perhaps you're still having trouble using the correct words. Or maybe someone's re-arranged all the keys on your keyboard and it's just co-incidence that it makes a coherent sentence.

Cheers for the time management advice. Perhaps you could manage my 2004 diary for me. Oh no, perhaps not - of course your communication skills are a bit limited!

Whoooooosh!

[Richard B]

Oh ha bloody ha!!

You're the blind one who didn't see that he was typing the names of three RIBnet members about three million posts ago in this thread!

[Jonny Fuller]

Oh dear! you still appear to be missing the joke.
Whooooooosh(again)

How do you do Big Letters?

By thw way is anybody really surprised that most people have got Broadband. I mean we are all tekkie types so we are gonna buy anything that's bigger better faster brighter waterproof or just shines nicely


By the way has anybody got a few comma's they can spare me

[bogib]

I am surprised but though not really as there are loads of us hanging on the forum and on the internet browsing on more than one site at a time, probably we are more likely to participate in the poll.

Im on NTL cable broadband. Its not a particularly fast one but it has all the advantages of broadband and costs the same as
dial up!!!!!!

My freeserve dial up was £12.99 a month. Then it was put up to £13.99 a month.
My NTL broadband was free to set up. No connection charge and free modem and im only paying £13.99 a month for it.

"Blind leading the blind" maybe? As in having been a rib owner for all of six months and already an expert!!

What is the connection speed of NTL cable broadband?

[The Jackeens]

128 (not really BB) but permanent connection
600
1000

When replying to a post (or creating a thread), click on 'size' in the menu bar at the top of the text box, it then gives you about four size options, when you choose 'huge' it enters the script for this with a number '4' in it, change this four to something bigger, say ten, then try it again, just keep changing the number in 'edit post' till you get what you want.

You speak for yourself! I need very little 'tekkie no-how' on my dustbin round.

[simmons0]

Yer NTLthey do a few different options im on the really slow one but its still permanent connection and a hell of a lot faster than standard dial up + its £14 not £35 a month plus a few hundred quid for modem and connection charge.

Jo-o-ohn,
As nearly 80% of responding ribnetters have broadband, does this mean we can have a Broadbanders Corner? And put little mini-films in it for downloading by other sad-oes like me?
Would probably only take up a few 10s of gigabytes.

[Manos]

There are what 2000+ members registered here and only 57 votes?? Not very representative unless the remaining are just double/triple/quadruple entris

[Alan]

Yeah and can we increase the size of pics we can post here. I got a 6.1mp digital camera for Xmas and on superduper large detail level the jpg files are 18mb each

Trouble is now I need a more powerful computer than my Tesco's 600mhz Celeron,.

[Jonny Fuller]

Movies converted to flash files aren't too bad, size wise, bit shoddy on quality, but better than nowt.
I've put a few on BM, but normally do a really shoddy one for dial-up (more compression), and a less shoddy one for BB.

[Manos]

Is there any way to post video clips here??
If not is there way that it could be done??
