| 98711 | 2002-11-17 22:35:00 | Good idea honeylaser. I see the occasional query about converting LP's to CDR's. I find this site very helpful as well as providing useful links and down to earth tips such as how to get rid of all the gunk out of LPs before processing them. Anyway the site is www.delback.co.uk/lp-cdr.htm [Incidenatally how do I post such a site to this page so that it appears as a web page as the other correpondents have done so that it can be immediately accessed on line rather than what I have done - laborously typed out the site which then has to be transcribed by a potential user?] Sorry about that. willbry :- |

Basically, you need to add the to the front of your URL's. To show a link like this (http:), you would go: {url=http://www.showmethemonkey.com]like this[/url} Except the { becomes a [ and the } becomes a ] Hope that helps :) |

| 98714 | 2002-11-18 00:07:00 | Thanks honeylaser but is there anyway you can just drag and drop a url say for example on to this page from its source without having to type it out [ with the added possibility of typing it incorrectly]? willbry |

| 98715 | 2002-11-18 00:09:00 | I guess you could just cut and paste the URL from the address bar - as long as it has http:// in front of it, it will work :) | honeylaser (814) | ||
| 98716 | 2002-11-18 02:56:00 | Thanks a lot - appreciate yourt help honeylaser. Have a good day. willbry :-) |

| 98717 | 2003-01-16 01:52:00 | Dragging up an oldish thread - I found this site: www.sharpened.net And the glossary is fantastic. If you are needing to explain what something is without getting frustrated (is a GIG gosh darnit! 1,073,741,824 bytes! Not 1,000,000,000!), the site uses a bit of humour as well. Sometimes you struggle to explain it in a way that someone can understand... the guy who runs the site has done all the leg work. My favourite has to be CPU (www.sharpened.net): "Stands for "Central Processing Unit." This baby is the brain of your computer. It processes all basic instructions and pretty much runs the show. Any time something needs to be computed, it gets sent to the CPU. Every day, it's compute this, compute that -- you'd think the CPU would need a break after awhile. But no. It just keeps on processing. Amazing. The CPU is also referred to as the simply the processor. Some people refer the entire motherboard as the CPU, but that's just wrong." Its better than whatis.com is some ways, as that site can get quite confusing and contradictory sometimes for someone not quite as computer literate. |
